Just a reminder, there is an open consultation on the Geographic Regions of ICANN, and whether the regions should be changed.<br><br>The At-Large community&#39;s views would be welcomed - this point was actually reinforced to me today by Paul Twomey amongst others.
<br><br>Might I suggest at least two points which could be communicated, these two points being ones I have heard mentioned by others, and not being personal observations?<br><br>1) Some member-states of the European Union are located in regions outside of Europe, which ought to be changed. In fact, candidate states of the EU might also be better situated within the European region than in others (Turkey comes to mind as an obvious example of this);
<br>2) The Asia-Pacific region is currently enormous. I have heard it said in particular that some representatives of Middle-Eastern groups believe it ought to be a region of it&#39;s own, not in the APAC region.<br clear="all">
