Lumping consumers and businesses isn't typical, you know.

The difference is not germane to my point, either.  Small businesses are
businesses; the business constituency explicitly allows small
businesses, and, as greg pointed out, if they actually participated in
the BC, they would control it.  That is, there already is a
representational home in the DNSO for from 80 to 90% of all domain name
registrants -- actually, more, because we do have the non-commercial 
constituency which allows non-commercial domain name holders who are 
organizations of any size.

That is, the vast representational gap claimed by some is a pure fiction.
