Ken,

It is not at all difficult to demonstrate that the ISP constituency is an
interest grouping of *some* ISP's and that the Business Constituency is an
interest grouping of Businesses heavily weighed in favour of a few early
players.  Neither have the numbers that help them to credibly represent the
interests that they purport to represent.
At best they provide a *framework* for a fairly weighed representation of
such specific interests in the future.
With the NCDNHC it is problematic that IP-players such as Mr Maher have
played such a prominent role in its bootstrap phase and that an active
registrar-player such as Kent Crispin can dominate the proceedings by
representing a non-profit boating-club, but speak and act as a Registrar
apologist. 

With the CA/IDNO it is no different. As long as it remains small, it is
vulnerable to capture or sabotage by people who put on an Individual DN
holder's hat, but who act on behalf of opposing or hostile interests.

Ken, please! Unless Afilias becomes a co-op of its registrants, your "making
a living" as a registrar is in fundamental conflict  with your interests as
an Individual DN holder. 
If you want to speak as individual DN holder, you must accept that you do so
with limited credibility where it concerns contracts with registrars.

If you would oppose an NC recomendation to the Board that it should
recognize an IDNOC or an IDNHC, you cannot credibly do so speaking as an
Individual DN Holder.
