Board of Directors - ICANN

Is not diverse (should I dare say black?) enough?
My academic training seems to agree with this observation.
I remember my interest in ICANN was actually provoked by the days when Alice, Katim et al were on the board.
Without doubting the capability of the incoming members, it is important that Nomcom takes the issue racial diversity alot more seriously.  After all, that is WHY ICANN is trying to be as 'international' as it can get.  Why not begin at the top?

I will challenge that observation.

I suspect you are affirming the consequent, a logical fallacy that surprises me in an academic such as yourself.
