seems like an effective approach to quickly reduce @large membership numbers 
in the short term.  Now would not be good timing for such a thing, imo, 
though I can see how a swell to 150k (almost overnight and w/o much 
publicity) may be of some discomfort in some circles. But, now is not the 
time to put in place mechanisms that would curb such enthusiasm and interest. 
 

I think it is a reasonable argument for the time being that the @large should 
be represented based soley on the 'pass through'.  Right now, individual 
domain name holders do not have the same resources as that of an isp or 
registrar 'to pass it on' again.  And I think this is the point - not the 
'reasonable charge' it would cost each member.
