RE: [gnso-restruc-dt] Diversity issues

[Milton L Mueller <mueller@xxxxxxx>]

I would reject "sectoral diversity" as a legitimate criterion if and when it 
leads to 3 North Americans and 3 Europeans representing the CSG on the Council. 
That is not diversity. 

A robust Commercial Users Constituency, in which Council representatives are 
elected by a diverse, truly global collection of organizations and individuals, 
should have no trouble having candidates stand from multiple sectors and 
geographic regions. 

Here's an interesting test question, Philip: do you consider yourself (head of 
a trademark/brand lobbying organization) to be part of a different "sector" 
than Steve Metalitz (head of a copyright lobbying organization)?
