Point of information: I trained in civil law at université de montréal.  If you check I  think you will find my credentials impeccable. At least the US congress thought so when they asked me to testify (more than once) on international law and infrastructure issues other than the internet. Believe it or not there is
life outside the internet.

So any suggestion that we need droit civil (civil law) representation before starting I would say is moot.  Other than civil and common law, what other legal systems are you looking for?  As far as I know, they manage to cover over 95% of the nations between the two. For example, the worlds most populous country
(China) is a primarily civil law jurisdiction, with common law used in Hong Kong and other special enclaves.  I would say civil and common law account for 100% but my search is not complete, so I accept the possiblity that there is another system to be represented.  Should that imede the task force? I think not, since
there is already a good nexus with the existing jurisdictions.
