<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Just to clarify, I did not infer adding term limits would increase diversity. Term limits would only increase change and “opportunity” in the people occupying a seat. On
that note, if the BOT only wants to create “opportunity”, then the BOT can implement term limits without increasing quantity and get the same results.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Increasing the number of seats will not increase diversity. The “opportunity” is a falsity due to the existing statistics that exist in ethnicity, sex, employment ect that
are involved in the ARIN region. Either the membership accepts the nature of our region and promotes the heck out of diverse people they want on the BOT or the BOT implements qualifiers to seats.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
