There's an unspoken basic fallacy to this question of geographical
"diversity". People might be chosen from different regions, but all
belonging to the same stakeholder group. Stakeholder diversity could be
sacrificed to geographical diversity, which wouldn't do much for
representativity. Members are supposed to "represent the broad interests of
stakeholders" as well as be from diverse regions.
So really, there need to be various people from each region on all bodies,
and they shouldn't all come from the same stakeholder class.
The only way to deal correctly with this seems to be to increase the number
of directors.
