    i do not see the albanians, ukrainians, and carpatho-russians --- are they not part of the body or just after thoughts?

      They have their own dioceses, and metropolia in the case of the UOCUSA. It would be inappropriate for them to be involved if they truly are self-governing structures.

      But it seems they are not,,,,a Greek bishop was foisted on the carpatho Russians for example,,,,

      My understanding is that a slate of Greek candidates were strongly suggested, particularly since there was no promising internal candidates but the ACROD committee made its choice. I think the Greeks actually like keeping the ethnic Diocese separate from the Greeks.

      ACROD was allowed to pick their own bishop. The administration threw a wide net and he was chosen, voted on, and enthroned with EP in attendance, but not running the show.

      I was there. No bishop was 'foisted' on ACROD. After a drawn-out search by the ACROD search committee, no eligible, willing candidates were found within ACROD. At that point, Archbishop Demetrios recommended that the committee consider then-Priest Grigorios. He made a good impression, was recommended, voted on, and enthroned, all by ACROD.
