    Hi Tracy, Ayden and All,<br>
    I came from the South School of Internet Governance last week
    (organized by Olga Cavalli) and learned that a lot of time is being
    spent arguing about and within regions. And there is much work and
    so many other issues to argue about! <br>
    <br>
    To Ayden's questions below, which did not make it to me earlier, let
    me respond: I think that it is people who should organize their
    regions within ICANN. Israel, for example, might object to being in
    the Middle Eastern region; as their citizens are so often denied
    entrance to conferences in nearby countries, they normally go to
    Europe and other areas for their meetings. Why should their young
    people have no chance at getting a NextGen scholarship if it is only
    regional and they can't attend anything in their regions? That's
    just one example. <br>
    <br>
    The ones Tracy points to below is another example - and solution. <br>
    <br>
    I dislike "recreating the wheel" and my guess is that others have
    solved this issue many times and in many ways over the years. What
    has worked? <br>
    Ayden, as a traveler of the world, I certainly vote for you to help
    solve this interesting problem! <br>
    Best,<br>

                  <div><br>
                    Thanks for your comments. I just wanted to pick up
                    on something; you mentioned that (similar,
                    presumably) legal structures should be one of our
                    guiding instruments in the new geographic regions
                    framework. What were you thinking of here? That in
                    the GAC, ICANN should be measuring how many members
                    have common and civil law along with, say, Sharia
                    law provisions, in relation to the total number of
                    countries in the world with those legal systems? How
                    valuable would that be? </div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>I am not a lawyer so my understanding of this
                    topic is very limited: I thought every country's
                    legal system had its own identity - though some have
                    been <font>inherited from or influenced by
                      colonialism, or another factor - so I'm not
                      certain as to what we would be trying to achieve
                      here. What type of diversity would you like to see
                      in terms of legal structures?</font></div>
