Re: [atlarge-discuss] My choices for a leadership team

[James Love <james.love@cptech.org>]

I agree with Izumi and others who are concerned about diverse membership on 
the board.   I think the next panel should address this, and make proposals 
to ensure that the board is not dominated by one or a few countries, which 
could happen, and which should not happen.   Right now it is most important 
to have good candidates from different cultures and regions.
