Mark,

To be short and polite: each consituenct us free to carry its business as they
prefer, unless this creates problems to the DNSO.

Pleae provide any evidence of a single complaint within any constituency
regarding the question yu raise. If they felt representedd, and have no
complaint, so should you be, Mark.

Hell, Mark, you're happy not to be one of my law students ;-))

Your interpretation leads to absolute unilateral veto power for each and every
consituency by simply not "nominating" reps in the sense you imply. This could
not be more antithetic to the whole DNSO and ICANN history, tradition and rules.

Arfumentaton ad absurdum, no matter how well constructed, is the first thing
law studnets learn to escape from. I guess this could also apply here.
