Great to see you taking the initiative to get comments underway, Ayden.
I added some comments to the Google doc.
Personally, I believe that the statement overstates the significance of geographic diversity when what we are really interested in is overall population diversity,
which might involve language and other culture, religion or ideology, economic status, etc. Geography is but a rough proxy for social differences, and often a bad one. I would like to see a comment raising consciousness about this. Given how arbitrary some
of these dividing lines are (e.g., is Mexico North America – which it is geographically – or LAC, or which tiny Caribbean island gets placed where) It might clarify things to state the actual purpose of these regional divisions.
