That's a pretty watered-down way of presenting it, don't you think?
Constituencies have been "recommended" for two years, now. What the
NC and the Board need is a demand for equal representation in the
DNSO for individual domain name holders, end-users, and small
businesses, by means of consitutencies for each of these legitimate
and obvious stakeholder groups.

The At-large has nothing whatsoever to do with DNSO constituencies.
That is a smokescreen of confusion put up here by Crispin and his
fellows from ISOC/CORE, who are creating the same dicersions as
always, and getting away with it, in the existing constituencies,
including the NCDNHC.

If people want to debate the UDRP, let them join a debating club.
Enough of this pussy-footing around. What is everyone so afraid of?
That the trademark lobby is going to send them home with a bad
reportcard to Mom?

When the business and IP and ISP and registrar consitutencies
present their structures and implementations, then and only then has
anyone the right to demand the same of constituencies for
individuals, end-users, and small businesses. ISOC and CORE are
going to invade the new constituencies just like they've invaded the
NCDNHC and all the others. All that can be hoped for is that they're
kept from disrupting the work.

Time to get on with it, and let Crispin and Auerbach and the rest of
the debating club take it elsewhere.
