I agree with Joanna.  This organization is supposed to be representing the people that pay the bills, the end user.  One person, one vote.

James,
Objection. These are not good questions. They promote a fundamental
misunderstanding about whois the At Large. At Large exists to promote the
interests of *users* on the demand side, as opposed to those on the supply
side. Naturally, some of those users will be Individual Domain Name
Registrants, whose interests are the focus of some candidates, Joop for
example, but to imply that domain name issues are the only concerns of this
organization, and to omit reference to the general public user anywhere in
your questions completely misses the fundamental principles at the heart of
the At Large. Put simply, the At Large exists to lobby for the user interest
that ICANN ignores. It exists for the benefit of the public, not domain name
registrants, individual, corporate or otherwise.
Joanna
