Personally, I think that no person should be allowed to serve on TalkBoard unless he has a minimum of citizenship in two different countries.

Each country has its own rules concerning travel and different nations' passports are often subject to different visa requirements. (eg: I have to pay for a visa if I want to enter Turkey on my American passport but not on my Israeli.) This gives me twice the experience in this vital area of travel as someone with only one passport.

Additionally, as TalkBoard serves members from throughout the world, we should want to have as many languages as possible spoken by its members. I suggest that anyone seeking to be on TB be able to read in a minimum of four languages and that one of these be a non-European language.

(Georgian is only acceptable if it is of the Republic of Georgia variety, not the State of Georgia. We do not want to cheapen the definition of "language.")
