Hi Melinda,
Not sure why location should be a special case. Maybe some forms of
diversity are just not desirable?
Fernando, the specific question about Singapore was about
safety.
that's shift for me. I read significant number of comments discussing
situation as "one specific group should be afraid to bring their
relatives to Singapore and this is not supporting IETF position on
diversity".
Franky speaking - I share Fernando's view in this case.
Few emails discussing "need of measurements of participation from new
regions" open a kind of "strange" questions like "do we need to measure
participation of minorities?". I know there are cultures who discuss
this kind of topic, but my culture does not allow judging people based
on their race, citizenship, sex orientation etc. - so I do not like such
as measurements.

P.S: Simply - the discussion went too far.
