Hi, Certainly, I wud clarify the _expression_ in
due course of discussions and you are right it's about the composition of EC
because of voting pattern/stalk. In my opinion, “Internet is the
leveller” but the table and the process of Elections are distinctively
dividing the region- I may be wrong in assuming the same but really dont know
that how Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and many such countries can get the
representation in current EC structure. I also don’t know that how can we check
a situation like that as "Security Council" if 4 EC members from 3
countries of the same belt i.e. “majority” decides to block, say
for example some country wants to have NIR. Concerns are more on the election process but
let other members from the Talk Group also have a look at the table and roles
and obligations of EC.

Naresh, || The
table is obvious on many unspoken but visibly glaring aspects which, coupled || with

APNIC-TALK group: Here I
found a strong _expression_ "visibly glaring aspects" and it
seems to be of the line-up of members of the Executive Council
since its beginning. What do you
try to mean? I agree
whatever concern can be a start of good discussion. I really
encourage apnic-talk for an active discussion. A tiny
point is that some of what you excerpted are not what by-law
provides, but shown in http://www.apnic.net/about-APNIC/organization/structure/apnic-executive-council/EC-roles-and-obligations
, which the
EC must comply as well, though. Regards, MAEMURA
