I thoroughly disagree, Jeff.  IDNHC is individual domain name holders
constituency.  An individual domain name holder is one person who 
holds a
domain name.  To me that would indicate nothing further than a sole
proprietorship or individual person who holds a registration would qualify
for membership in that SO.  Publicly held corporations would certainly 
not
qualify, nor would the shareholders of those corporations.

Although I rarely agree with WXW, I do in this case.  The @large is (or
will be hopefully) the body for users and other stakeholders, which 
means
that all *individual* members of all SO's are eligible for it.  Call it one
huge user's group.  It just needs to be more equitably divided among a
greater number of regions - one for each of the nine seats.

There are three groups not represented in ICANN - individual dn holders,
small business (which could be part of the IDNHC) and users/other
individual stakeholders.  ICANN needs to address that issue and not 
overlap
the groups.

MHO.
