It does not make much sense to be very strict about this. We are a 
constituency of individuals. People. If you would have only farrar.au.com 
(a subdomain) and nothing else, (out of some principle?) I would still 
favour admission as a member. Even if such a Domain would be free.
Same for a DN holder who just lost his Domain to a hijacker.

Constituency members will pay membership fees to support their 
constituency.  It will be hard enough to get paid-up members. Why exclude 
people who do not represent contrary interests?  The more the merrier. I 
would only foresee problems if the interests of sub-domain holders would 
start to diverge sharply from holders of normal SLDs' . For now, I see this 
as a little far-fetched.
