That's true. I remember you did.

They join when they get a domain name. Simple.

The problem isn't just deliverability, althought that's a major
issue. Domain name holders are reachable and accountable, absolutely
necessary criteria for any online voting mechanism to work. But even
more important, they have a real stake, an economic stake, in the
registration agreement, which they will have to sign, making them
personally liable. That's what divides the real stakeholders from
the rest, and, since this is all about economics, those with a real
economic stake must have a say, a place at the negotiating table. If
the ICANN or DNSO memberships are a catch-all for mixed
non-domain-holding users and domain name holders, it will be all too
easy for the service providers, operators, and allocators to claim
that the users shouldn't have a voice or a vote. This can only be
counteracted by having all voting members be legitimate registrants,
IMHO.
