updated constituencies

["William Allen Simpson" <wsimpson@greendragon.com>]

To keep things straight in my head, here is my current view of the
constituency language.  I had to move things around a bit (renumbering)
because of alphabetical name order changes.

                                ====

The original set of Defined Constituencies, with qualifications for
participation in each, are as follows [In alphabetical order at ICC
suggestion]:

    1.  At-Large: an individual, firm, association or corporation that
    uses the Internet or has a legitimate interest in the objectives of
    the DNSO, but is not a member of any other Constituency.  No member
    of any other Constituency may be a member of the At-Large
    Constituency, and the At-Large Constituency shall not be subject to
    any Constituency membership fee.

    2.  Infrastructure and connectivity providers: a DNSO member who
    is a network operator or service provider, defined as a legal
    person operating a name server for clients and offering Internet
    connectivity to third parties.

    3.  Public Sector and Public Benefit Entities: Schools, libraries,
    hospitals, museums, government agencies, non-profit charities, and
    other entities that provide service to the general public.  [INTA

    4.  Registrars: a DNSO member who is a registrar, defined as an entity
    authorized by ICANN with update priviledges for TLD zones.

    5.  Registries: a DNSO member who is a registry of one or more
    generic/global or country-code TLD zones, defined as an entity that
    regularly publishes the authoritative TLD zones which have been
    delegated to it by ICANN.

    6.  Supporting Businesses and Organizations: a DNSO member who
    is a supporting business or organization, defined as any legally
    constituted organization with a legitimate interest in Domain Name
    issues that offers direct financial support of the DNSO through an
    additional Constituency membership fee.

    7.  Trademark and Anti-counterfeiting interests: a DNSO member who
    is an organization representing trademark interests, defined as
    entities whose primary interest is the protection of trademarks
    or the effort to stop trademark counterfeiting and infringement,
