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