Evan,
I know that you are one of those that have always defended non-English 
speakers. But here I am not understanding you very well.
1- we are not here speaking about gender nor racial nor diversity on 
other basis rather the first and more important element imposed by the 
bylaws which the regional balance.
2- I don't consider the regional balance as "Lux" but it is "vital"
3- I am sure that you agree that there is may be someone in "Less 
Considered Regions" the "Best possible advocate".

I have seen many "non insider" new board member appointed by NomCom 
becoming very strong board members.
