Subject: The irony of the two country rule is..

Message:
 

       
      It's actually much more likely that a Canadian will get at least one vote from an American, than the contrary.  

      The 10% is a bigger hurdle, at least in North America, but considering the relative distribution of the internet users in general (and by logical extension, ICANN @Large membership), a Canadian getting a nomination from an American is more likely, simply because there are more Americans.

      Of course, the 10% rule really hurts Canadians with a "Canada first" agenda.. and has only limited impact on an American with a "US first" agenda.. so it does end up cutting both ways.
