Evan, Anyone can find insult if that is what they seek. I sought to explain that there are aspects of ICANN's North America region that are problematic. An indigenous government is lost to Europe. The largest population of least assimilated Indians in the US is overlooked. The discomfort is mutual, and the preference I first expressed was for Greenland and Mexico to be included in "North America". Failing that, as Olga pointed out at the Geographic Regions meeting in Cartagena, Indians do at least as well in South America as in North America, and a single region harms Indians less than partition. Disagreement with you is a really high stakes thing. What is your real issue with whether GL is in one region or another? Whether MX is in one region or another? Eric
