I should note however that I was not on the TB due to any sort of foreign handicap. When I had run for the previous TB had put my "residence" down as something like JFK/IST, therefore I did not count as a non-NA resident (had I only put IST, I would have been elected under those rules). After a certain TB member was booted off the TB, I having the next highest number of votes was put on the TB (actually to be accurate, I believe that two TB'ers left at that time, and I was one of two that came on then so I may have been the next greatest number or the one before that I don't remember).
