  I am not sure that we NEED to do this, but that it is a good idea for
" Individual Domain Name Holders" to have their own Constituency.

  I would think any DNSO GA member could, amongst others...

  Certainly the NC reps should be a vehicle to which services from the
Sec. can be requested.  However individual GA members should also
have this ability.  So should the Chair and Alt-Chair, after all they
are elected by the GA members...

  Perhaps, yes.  ANd do you have a suggestion that you would like to
share with all of us?

 Yes, for some specified services....  They need to be outlined...

  It should be based upon a vote (on line) of the GA members...
