Re: [ALSC-Forum] Nine Geographic Zones

[Esther Dyson]

I think this might be even harder to get consensus for than the ALSC's

For starters,  many of the folks you put into each group will not 
appreciate that placement....
Plus, you have a huge imbalance of populations, with Asia far outweighing 
the rest.
