Adversely affect diversity? (none / 0)

How does decentralizing the appointment of at-large members adversely affect diversity? One would think that if more people get a say in those at large members than that will, as a matter of course, ENCOURAGE diversity.

Now, now, now (none / 0)

They mean diversity in terms of rich, connected types of all colors and sexes within a 50 mile radius of DC and NYC. Especially diversity in context to whomever will help the dominant playa d'jour stay on top.

Economic, class, regional, and other things like that? That's not diversity!

Why Matt?  I can't see anything in the amendment that would hurt them.  In fact, I see it as more of a benefit.  If you have talked to them, please tell us why they would be against it.
