  Agreed.  In addition some of those ccTLD registries may have a majority
of there registrants as noncommercial registrants as well...

  If you are referring to the registry itself here, than the ccTLD's registries
not having a vote themselves might be reasonable.  However if your

  There is not such thing as a bad comment.  the only comment that
could be construed as a bad comment is the one you have but are
reluctant for some reason, to make...
