Thanks, Milton - it is so often "the South" as you paraphrase it, and not "the South of Europe" that is left out. And therefore we had also discussions time and again that our colleagues from Australia/NewZealand (though in the ICANN defined "Asia Pacific Region") are not representing the majority of Africa/Asia/Latin American situations (though they are welcome representing, officially, the countries in the AP region).

Tracy:

Thanks for your effort. However, the original “concern” came from the fact that there was not enough people from “the South” on the panel. Typically this means non-European/North American and from developing countries. A governmental rep from Portugal is probably not what these objectors had in mind (especially if Bill is right that this one has not been that supportive of the LDC perspective).
