That doesn't agree with my understanding of At Large.  I believe that At 
Large is everyone who isn't represented by other consituencies.  This has 
often been interpreted as meaning individual domain registrants, but I 
think that's wrong too.  The real (and woefully underrepresented) At Large 
is all the people in the world who have never registered a domain and 
never will, but who use domains every day as the use the Internet.
