<pre> Hi James,<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> My apologies if I made a mistake, but looking at the page Stephanie<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> pointed to, I see the regions as follows:<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> Africa: Rafik Dammak and Farell Folly<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> Asia-Pacific: Elsa Saade<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> Europe: Tatiana Tropina<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> Latin America: Martin Pablo Valent<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> Cf. <a href="https://gnso.icann.org/en/about/stakeholders-constituencies/ncsg">https://gnso.icann.org/en/about/stakeholders-constituencies/ncsg</a><o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> If that's not correct then my analysis obviously needs to be adjusted<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> accordingly. I am aware that Rafik lives in Japan, but our rules and<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> precedents give some leeway for people who have ties in multiple<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> regions to choose which they choose to declare (I oversimplified in<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> saying residence is the determining factor), and I presumed the above<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> page to indicate Rafik has chosen to declare Africa according to his<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> native Tunisia.<o:p></o:p></pre>
