The ICANN Board determines and reviews how each country should be included in a particular Geographic Region, with the review at least once every three years. According to the Bylaws there are 5 Geographic Regions: 1. Africa; 2. Asia/Australia/Pacific; 3. Europe; 4. Latin America/ Caribbean islands; and 5. North America By having geographic diversity provisions in its Bylaws, ICANN emphasises broad international representation both on the Board and throughout other key structures within ICANN.
