When the ICANN Board has stated clearly a resolution like "the ICANN Board
has decided to not create a new consitutency for individuals because it
doesn't serve for the purposes of the Corporation?"  I still haven't
read such resolutions neither know the existence of such a resolution.
ICANN is obligated by the BY-Laws to follow the process described in such
By-Laws regarding new constituencies.

False.  According to the list of the subjects of Public Comment Forum:
http://forums.icann.org there haven't have any process of Public Comments
specifically about a new constituency for the individual domain name
owners.

I think that pursuant to the By-Laws, it would be wise to request
formally again a new constituency for individuals domain names holders.

Best Regards
