RE: [gnso-restruc-dt] Q5. In Section 3.1: Geographic distribution SG council members

Hi, Chuck 
I really do believe that there is an important qualitative difference between 
the two Houses in this regard. The contracts ICANN presents to registries and 
registrars do not vary by geographic region so far as I know. And the functions 
performed by a registry or registrar are quite similar, although there may be 
differences in their economic and social climate. Non-contracting parties on 
the other hand have an extremely diverse set of policy concerns that definitely 
do vary by geography. So I think the difference is justifiable.
