<Deep sigh>. As if this has not been debated 100 times before.

How can you ask for representation of general users if there is not even a 
place in the GNSO for *specific* stakeholders?

General Users need representation in future Internet Governance Bodies, no 
doubt, but Domain Registrants need representation in this DNS governance 
here and now.

I don't care how you call the constituency, Individual Registrants, DN 
holders, or whatever, but the criterion here should be having a *specific* 
stake in the outcome of GNSO policy recommendations. (such as there are)
