Rather than amending the Bylaws, another solution to the "3 NSI reps is
too many" problem would have been to either (a) allow prospective
registries and existing registries in alternate roots to be members, or
(b) adopt the "open" vs. "closed" TLD model (which NSI itself advocated).
In either scenario, NSI would have been sorely outnumbered, and it's
doubtful that it would have received enough votes to get *any*
representatives on the Names Council.
