I welcome FlyerTalkers from a diverse background, especially those from countries than the US, as those countries are much more fun to visit than my own.
It would be wonderful if the diversity of the board was a reflection of the diversity of the community. However, I don't think that diversity should necessarily be mandated any more than I believe in quotas (which I do not).
I represent my constituency which does have a fairly diverse background. I hope that I can continue to receive their support, as I believe FlyerTalk should not only be open to all, but all should be able to participate at whatever level they feel comfortable doing.
The most qualified candidates are the candidates that should be elected.
