Very good point. And actually, this is an opportunity for new people to 
feel free to get involved and run in the election. It would be great if 
the next OGB had representatives from India and/or China and/or Eastern 
Europe or other regions of the world that are rapidly growing. The 
Advocacy CG has the ability to shape the election in a profound way -- 
if we vote.
