Hi,
One other thing. The NCSG Charter indicates:
> To the maximum extent possible, no more than two (2) NCSG
> GNSO Council Representatives can be declared resident of the
> same geographic region as defined by ICANN. Reasonable
> efforts should be taken to recruit nominees so that all
> geographical regions may be represented by the NCSG GNSO

Of the two remaining on council for another year
1 - North America resident (me)
1 - European resident from Africa (Amr)
Candidates
(if I have residences correct)
2 NA
1 Europe
1 LAC
1 AP
It does say to the maximum extent possible, so it may not be a problem.
Just pointing it out.
