Provided that there are a series of normalizations for the points system, it's probably the best order AFTER you get through the idea of ensuring 6 teams from every regional go, instead of 5 or 4 or 3.
To your first point, I dont agree with that on the basis of it depending on the qualification structure. If everyone was in the same points structure as say FiM, then if one region had 20/110 and another had 30/115, then that just meant that that other region had better robots.
