  I am not sure that we NEED to do this, but that it is a good idea for
" Individual Domain Name Holders" to have their own Constituency.

  I would think any DNSO GA member could, amongst others...

  Perhaps, yes.  ANd do you have a suggestion that you would like to

  It should be based upon a vote (on line) of the GA members...
