[ARIN-consult] Consultation on Proposed Bylaws Changes

[Cathy Aronson]

Personally I believe that "diversity" is more than who is from which region. It you're still all middle aged white males then you still aren't diverse. Also if you don't have the expertise you need (like finance or whatever ) to get he job done that's a problem as well.

If you just divided our six elected seats up by population, you’d get 5.33 seats for the U.S., 0.59 of a seat for Canada, and 0.08 of a seat for the Caribbean.  Personally, I wouldn’t like to be divided into .33, so I proposed three seats for the U.S., two for Canada, and one for the Caribbean, which should give the Caribbean and Canada little cause for complaint.
