are you assuming that each participant wears one hat and only one hat?

due to my status as a consultant to the secretariat, i am not  
qualified for this game, but i consider myself as having a hat in each  
of these closets:

- i belong to several NGO's and am working on founding one with some  
other people, and thus consider myself CS
- i have a part time university appointment and thus am AC
- i participate in the IETF, am an appointee in ICANN, write  
protocols, and do technical research and thus am TC
- i hire myself out as professional consultant (gotta pay the rent  
somehow) and hence am a small business person - PS

I don't think I am alone in this multi-hatted nature (though i may  
take it to extremes)

note, the gov'ts don't only appoint government people.  some can  
appoint CS, especially in those countries where CS considers itself  
served well by the gov't.  in fact this was part of the argument for  
more people from development countries since they consider that those  
countries are the ones who really support CS.  so _in addition_ to  
trying to place development CS people through the other category, i  
suggest that CS from developing countries get their gov'ts to live up  
to the promise.
