It will never happen.  Too much apathy amongst them to ever reach critical
mass.  Every attempt to get serious participation by that community in anything
relating to this process has been a dismal failure.  They are resigned to
accepting and dealing with whatever happens, and are not even educated and
current on what the situation is right now anyway.  Many of them do not even
understand what the shared registration system is.

Organizing them has been attempted so many times with so much failure, I really
don't take the possibility seriously anymore.

The bottom line, to get them to participate, you would have to have a real
substantive financial incentive for each and every one of them.
