Actually Greg, in the report the paragraph is clear and *does* include the Working Group:

"Discussions within the General Assembly, the Working Group,  and other forums on the question of a constituency 
for individual domain name holders reflect that while not all agree with the need for it, there is sufficient support to 
explore its establishment.    If the constituency is added, a procedure is needed to ensure that it occurs in a 
transparent manner, is representative of its charter, and that the role of the General Assembly, Non-Commercial 
Constituency, and the At Large members is looked at in relation to the individual constituency. If established, it 
should be carefully distinguished from the non-commercial, which should represent non-commercial interests, such 
as educational institutions, libraries, non-profits etc. per its mandate."

Until a substantive warrant is produced, I remain adamant in rejecting *any* so-called "report" which can be 
construed as involving/implying WG input, specifically in this matter.  I think anybody who reads this statement, and 
who was not aware of the facts, could easily conclude that the WG supported such a statement.  This is a flagrant 
misrepresentation of the facts.  The archives are a public record, and they can be adduced if need be.  Now, one 
more time, where is the warrant for the correlation of the IDNH/O and the @Large?

Also, what about the DNDEF topic Greg?  Why is there no mention of this penultimately significant topic?  What's 
going on here exactly?  Is the ostrich burying its head in the sand?

BTW, as co-chair, are you receiving (will you, or have you received) any recompense for your participation in the 
WG?
