Actually the important thing is to get rid of the constituency system which 
is rather an US centric notion. Since only in American English a 
constituency may possibly reach a consensus. In other parts of the world 
(96%) a constituency is a component for a vote, i.e. the antithesis of a 
consensus. This is a constitutionalist view. A practical traslation 
rationale is that the system has failed as most agree.

It is a mandatory step. But not in an SO consulting organization. It has to 
be done in the @large field. An there the IDNO organization created a long 
ago by Joop Teemstra as a real lead. Buth there are others. For example 
Ralph Nader initiative quoted here is one them. This is why I copy this 
mail to GA, for Jamie Love and others may read it, so we can renew contact 
on this topic of the defence of the idnower as a consumer. As we got 
contact with other consumer organization in Europe.

PS. Frankly the most complicated thing seems to make understand that by ill 
reasoning DNSO has hosted until now most of the @large concerns under the 
name of constituencies and that that they are going to go back where they 
belong, i.e. to the @large mouvement. Leaving the DNSO resume its bylaws 
defined duties, procedures and methods as an SO. Probably because it look 
stern to many. Well itis, but it is basic job which has been over delayed 
with very bad consequences for all of us.
