Other members appointed from the CONCACAF region are: Tom King (USA), Kevan Pipe (Canada), David Sabir (Bermuda), Jorge Ortega (Costa Rica) and Ramesh Ramhdan (Trinidad &amp; Tobago.

This is quite hilarious. First Congrats and good luck Horace I think you have the ability to be a good football administrator. Ironically Kevin Pipe was fired unceremonoulsy by the Canadian Football Association a month back. This is just Jack completing favours as I know kevan Pipe is a buisness man and not a football person.
