I'm not going to debate it, but the at large has huge influence in the
NomComm and specific constituencies have very little say in policy
development - which gets watered down even more as new constituencies
are implemented (and the weight of a vote for the GNSO board seat also
becomes diminished). I think, but haven't clearly determined yet, that
the new structure will also amplify this.
Also, i'm not saying "don't do it", I'm saying "don't lose your
influence in the NComm..."
