It would please me, though, if at least 1 of the seats could be filled by someone who is not from the United States, because we are a global project, and there are concerns from people from time to time that we need to reflect that fact in governance.
I hope that in two or three years we can change the allocation of the seats to "one per continent" (forget about Antarctia).
I think that if the election will be kept first past the post some might withdraw to make sure that the strongest of their language wins a seat.
