OK. In light of the deadlines (the end of the public comment period is Sunday), I have drafted the NARALO statement as follows: *NARALO finds that the current situation in this region is satisfactory but encourages the work of other At-Large regions in which the current system may be seen to require change.* * We also support investigating way to increase the participation of Indigenous populations, especially those whose cultural territory cuts across regional boundaries. However, we would strongly oppose any regional model (such as the ITU) that would amalgamate all of the Western Hemisphere into a single "Americas" region. * This seems to meet with the acceptance of everyone except one. - Evan
