Indeed, the whole point is that, if they don't participate in voting now
it is a sign of not caring (very much). I don't feel that "accepting"
ICANN is of any concern: they just have to, or boycott it, which is very
difficult.

Indeed, so it shouldn't count at all where he comes from, or who votes
him.  In this respect it's all european.

that a german director probably knows more about local problems in
germany is clear, but shouldn't be a problem, as he is expected to do his
research.
