Elana, Rick, Rob, and others,

I represented a small registrar on the Budget Committee, as well.  Although, Allegiance Telecom is a reasonably large company, even if it's a tiny registrar, so that might not count.

Rick has a good point, though.  I believe that the Registrar's representatives to the Budget Committee were fairly well distributed last year.  As an independant, fairly unbiased person at this time, I would recommend that the constituency select a broad mix, again (at least one rep from large registrar, and one rep from a smaller registrar).

IMHO, it also worked well that one of the reps was also a member of the Executive Committee.  It makes it easier when coordinating constituency efforts.

-Bryan
