This is true. And this is an area where supply and demand "constituencies" 
naturally overlap.
It is the closed constituency structure that has been forced upon the DNSO 
since ICANN Singapore that is responsible for the polarization and the turf 
wars.

How many small DN owners are also TM owners? Why can't they become part of 
the IP "constituency"?
Now the business constituency redefines itself to e-businesses.

The DNSO becomes more lopsided for big biz by the day.

Agree. But Patrick is right in starting to look for different parts of an 
equation that can be used to introduce balances.
Do you know a better formula than DN supply/demand?
