Kent,
please read what I wrote. I said every member of a constituency is Member
of the GA (I do not know if this is true ML wise but legally when you are a
Member of a Group in an assembly, you are Member of the assembly). I
also said any person may be Member of the GA, would you be against that:
this is the way the ICANN and DNSO work. I have nothing against the DNSO
being wider than the @large (actually I would love it). Not the same charter.
Eventually I did not say the GA would elect three directors, I proposed the
BoD continue to select one, the NC elects one on behalf of constituencies
and the GA elects one.

I do not think there could be any. Unless it is something non disclosed,
which would make Roeland's point. I am sorry but "Perhaps you should try
again to get your due" is not my vision of equity. I hope it is only delays.
But then it would mean that the BC is dramatically unorganized.
