I think the unreferenced poster wanted to say that's astonishing that
ICANN has pre-nominated five candidates in Europe, but less in other
regions. I find this especially strange because at least some of the
European nominees clearly can't be regarded as Net representatives (at
least one of them has left almost no traces on the Net, and all these
traces are others writing very words about him).
