Re: [ga] Notification of Self Organization

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rod and all,

  Exactly right, and agreed.  An average Registrant that may or may not
have an interest is some aspect of IP also AND does have an interest
in other domain name related business AND is also a user, is also not
represented in the BC or does not qualify as a BC member or an
ALAC member, nor a NCUC member...  Yet another of many holes
in the ICANN Constituency model leaving a vast number of Registrants
and non registrants disenfranchized/unrepresented.  Which begs for
a "Registrant Constituency" which has NO membership restrictions
other than being a domain name registrant...
