Roberto was correct in stressing registrants vs. "users".

It is completely unrealistic and even counterproductive to fight for "user" 
representation in ICANN when you cannot  realize registrant representation 
first.

The registrant is the only reason that the ICANN accredited registration 
industry  flies.
Elitist?  For less than $10 a year for a domain registration? I don't think so.
