I agree with Abel on this. The At Large is the place where Kings and 
commoners stand together. Equally , on a one-woman-one vote basis.
Marilyn is welcome as a member, and she is expected to represent nobody but 
herself, as an individual Domain Name holder.
If she seeks to run for office, she is expected to disclosed her interest 
and current role in the BC. Then it's up to the voters.
