Yes, it is a dead horse, and we needn't flog it further.

Steps to an individual's constituency:

1) get the NC's "intake committee" working.
2) use the intake committee to start a working group on the subject 
of an individual's constituency.
3) hash out the details
4) come up with a recommendation to the NC
5) have the NC pass it to the board.

An individual's constituency can't be formed without the agreement of 
the current constituencies and the concurrence of the NC.  This is 
obvious.  Therefore, we should just use the processes in place.  By far 
the most important missing component at this point is the "intake 
committee" -- there is no way to get something on the NC's agenda.
