“LiveJournal has decided that, in order to make certain that different
communities are represented, there will be two user representatives in
the Advisory Board. One will be elected to represent the Cyrillic
language community and the other will represent the non-Cyrillic users.
This may seem a bit odd, but it’s probably important to note that a
large percentage of LJ’s users are Russian and they engage in very
different practices on LJ than non-Russian users. To make sure both
sides are represented, we decided to divide things this way.”
