If that means that North America will be assigned 66 percent of reps on the ALAC at this point in time -- so be it. At some point soon the balance will switch to Asia, and when that happens I would expect the weighting to be changed to relect the new mix.
The politically correct distribution that we suffer under has not worked out. A change is most certainly in order.
Quite the contrary - have you thought that some of the problems existing today may be due to the fact that there has been lack of balance in the beginning. As for your suggestion about today and "some point", this only shows how big the gap between you and the rest of the world is. You see, the world is not the USA only, and the fact that there are so many commercial registrants in this country only makes them involved into a business, which seems to be losing the momentum anyway. To make an analogy - since the US is contributing bigger share of the UN budget, does that mean it should tell the UN what to do, and the Security Council - how to vote? And if tomorrow another country starts paying more, will you be happy to see how it dictates you how to live. veni
