Erica,

It is true that so far the proposal has received the cold shoulder. Yet, 
Roeland has a point.  We do have common interests as registrants.
Moreover, a  Registrant constituency with a strong business component would 
help solving the perennial funding problem of the NCDNHC and the startup 
funding problem of the IRC (Individual Registrants).

A single Registrants' Constituency made up of diverse interests would also 
help mitigating the polarization between commercial and non-commercial, as 
the Individuals would straddle that divide.

What would it take to get the support of the Biz constituency? A more 
representative (of the world's commercial Registrants) Business 
Constituency, perhaps?
