> I would prefer to see candidates who will represent the Internet as a unit, rather
than focus on getting the best for their own area of the world. There is quite
enough divisive nationalism in the world. The greatest thing about the Internet
is that it is not governed by nationlistic rules, but by cooperative efforts. <Yeah,
I fully agree with that point. But it is important to differentiate between nominees
and directors. If a person is competent for being a board-director, I don't mind
where he lives. But I'm glad to hear that nominees will be from all regions, so that
every region, without matter how many members they have, is represented for the final
election.
> Show me a candidate who sees the opportunities to communicate freely
as the means to world peace, and who is willing to work for that, and I don't care
what his or her country may be, I will support that candidate. <
100% agreement.
