Dear Glen: I continue to play this old harp. It is *more_important* that
the GNSO representatives by *residents_of* the *region* they represent than
to be *citizens_of* said region.
GAC stuck us with this anomaly years ago. May we now request that each
representative be *both_citizen_of_and_resident_of* the region he or she
represents?
