Short term, probably yes. However, once the GA gains corresponding 
respectability, people who really want to have their opinions heard here 
will find  ways to get their endorsements soon enough.

Mind you, the number of active posters now is already very low to start 
with.... (30 against 300?)

In practice, this method of making GA "speakers" representative of at least 
5 other members would be extremely easy to achieve with a web based Booth.

If anyone would support such a method of creating positive "posting rights" 
, I am ready to explore this option further on GA-int or GA-icann.
We are all groping in the dark with this new medium of inter-communication. 
Let's experiment with what works and what doesn't.

Does the GA have anything to lose?
