      Sorry, I thought the math would speak for itself.  Where one might need nearly a thousand supporters to secure a nomination at 10% in the NA region, less than a hundred will do in many other venues.  If a member lives in such a region, the likelihood of being sufficiently networked to pass the 10% bar seems very high to me.  There are, for example, a dozen potential candidates in Australia/NZ/Oceania who could gather the 10% in a day, and I am sure this is true of many other areas with shallow representation.  The more complex, populated, and wired the area, the higher the barrier -- it seems, oddly, fair.
