Despite Lisse's  typically cynical remarks, Barrack has a very good point.  Diversity is important because it includes different points of view that are generally not perceived by others in a group.

I suggest that it is important to have representatives from all regions who are able to speak intelligently to the issues and are able to participate.  There are a few Africans who have been quite positive contributors to the process so far  --  I think initially of Barrack, Sean and Fiona  --  and their input and that of others that I have probably forgotten to name will be valuable .

Thank you Thomas,

I appreciate the open minded response you have given me, Geographic diversity helps in knowledge transfer and ensuring there is buy in and support from different parts of the world, i would be happy to see a volunteer from Africa.

There will be lots work, and probably no travel.

That'll reduce the stampeding hord of applicants.
