Roberto,

Your reply to Sotiris only reached me through his response, but I cannot 
leave it uncommented.

The whole problem is that ICANN even asks for a renewed "petition to form a 
constituency".
Registrants *are* a logical constituency , much more so than, say, the IP 
"constituency", and ICANN knows this, but does not want to let its Board 
formally acknowledge it.
George and Sotiris are right about the further hoops organizers have to jump 
though.
You did not answer my question  about how to motivate prospective 
representatives in the face of the massive existing demotivation of having 
to try this all over again and for no real result.
