Danny and all stakeholders or interested parties,

  If the At-Large is to represent the/it's legitimate majority of the ICANN
BoD the answer to you question is rather obvious Danny.
So in that vain and to that point of interest.  Many of those "Groups"
which you listed below are either represented already by SO's or
constituencies.  However my question was originally directed
at Marilyn Cade, whom so far has not responded.  But I shall
try to answer your question again for the 3rd time as you seem
to be unable to comprehend my first two answers.  I shall do so
by indicating which "Groups" that are already represented
by their reasonable BoD members including the "Board Squatters"..
( See indications below.  Some with comments )

  #'s 1 and 2 already have representation...

  Each should have one Board representative and also already have
Representation.

  #'s 5 and 6 already have Board Representation...

  No need for representation as this function is suppose to be done
by the IANA direction and therefore is a staff function...

  The IETF is a standards organization.  It's members are included in
several constituency organizations already...  No specific Board seats
should be allocated for the IETF other than At-Large elected ones...

  Again 9 - 11 already covered in the At-Large BoD Seats or in existing
constituency/SO seats.

  Same as #'s 9 - 11...

  Already represented.

  Would be covered in the At-Large seats...

>

  Already covered.

>

  The GAC is mainly a advisory body to the ICANN BoD...  No BoD seats
as a conflict of interest would ensue for already discussed and debated
reasons...

>

  This is where the main short coming in BOD representation resides
along with users.  Hence the need for an At-Large and it's 9 BoD seats.

  Same as #22 above.

  Same as #22.

  I already answered this specifically.  No BoD seat...
