I do not reply to the "regional constituencies" issue, because this is not 
the appropriate forum. It is an internal DNSO matter, with a debate already 
going on, and I would like to discuss it over there.

About the number of DNSO Directors, may I just notice that we are taking the 
risk of having AtLarge Directors that are just DNSO Directors in disguise: 
see the list of NomCom candidates. With all due respect to Alf, Olivier, and 
the others that I don't know, all five belong to groups represented in the 
DNSO Constituencies, and could easily be elected as DNSO Directors.

Please allow me to be polemic, just take it as a joke.
So, shall I assume that, if you will be elected to the ICANN Board, you will 
be in favour of limiting the term of the NC representatives "by decision of 
the Board"?
