I read the thread and I am happy we are not basing our decision based on the geographical spread of the persons who participated in this discussion. :-> 

As a rhetoric question: The IAOC will not be the judge of the consensus on this topic, will it? We leave that to the general AD?

Personally I believe that the aspect of going where our contributors come from should be weighed most heavily and I agree with Jari that there are different statistics that should be taken into account (like draft authorship). However, I also believe that the outreach component is an important one to the viability/goodwill of/towards the organization. 

Whatever the numbers X-Y-Z turn out to be (and I would consent with 1-1-1 and 2-1-1) I am in favor of moving towards the X-Y-Z-* model that Peter and Frederico alluded to.
