2 per subregion.

This should never include the Nationality or home of the CEO.

As there can only be one Geo director per region - why not just say that
the two Non-Geo Directors can not be from the same region?

I also believe if a standing director moves to a different region then
after 6 months must resign?

The requirement to recuse oneself for conflict of interest applies only to actions as a Director, not to actions as a Registered Member, even though the same person fills both roles.
