Alright, so let me understand this. Only ICANN accredited registrars
may be in the registrar constituency ?
In other words only com/net/org registrars (of which there are
under 200) can be part of that constituency?
Not to put too fine a point on it, but 1/7th of the names council
for *all* the DNS of this world is competing NSI registrars ?
Huh ?

Joe, any chance you could use a mail program that:
1) Does quoting properly
2) Doesn't redistribute graphics files with every letter you send
3) Makes it easy for you to type a reply at the bottom instead of
at the top ? Your letrers are really hard to parse.

The old man was asked, why were these men and boys willing to stand up to the
mightiest army in the world? Was it the taxes on tea and other imports? No, he
said. Was it the thinking from all the great books coming from Europe? No, books
were rare and precious things which most couldn't afford. Then, he was asked again,
WHY? His answer was... "Because they were of a mind to govern us and we were of a
mind to govern ourselves."
