I am not so sure, because I confess that I don't have hard facts in 
support/denial of either position, but may I note few simple things.

a. Having the majority of the votes is one thing, not allowing an important 
stateholder to have any vote is a different one. The fact is that the 
non-commercial individual users not only do not threat the consistent 
majority of the business, but are even precluded from having a constituency 
and a vote.

b. The same logic should be applied for large vs. small business. If the 
vast majority of the (business) users of the DNS are small businesses, 
family businesses, or even individuals that Kent claims (probably rightfully 
so) are using the DNS for business, is the current BC really representative 
of the business interests? To be clear, I don't have any complaint to the 
current BC, I am strictly an individual, non-commercial user (the kind of 
people that are not supposed to talk to the driver), and for me BC can do 
what it wants, but I don't understand why the reasonment is applied in two 
different ways when the ratio analysed is business vs. non-business, and 
when the ratio is large vs. small/family/individual.

Best regards, and I apologise to the drivers for the interruption.
Roberto
