Michael, May I remind you that the Registrar Constituency happened to hold free elections, and the three people that you mention happened to get more votes. I understand that it is infortunate, from your point of view, that the individuals that were reputed best for the task (=who got more votes) happen to be members of the Internet Committee of Registrars (CORE). The risk for democracy comes more from not accepting the result of free elections rather than from having geographically diverse representatives that happen to adhere to the same trade association. Maybe something will change in the future if NSI will become an accredited registrar ;>). But then, maybe they will decide to join CORE, why not? ;>) Regards Roberto
