Actually, business+TM+at_large represent domain name owners. The at
large constituency should probably be thought of as the "individual
domain name holder" constituency, since it has the lowest membership
requirements.

I have no idea what you mean by fluid. The registry constituency
has a very precise definition -- all the rest of the contituencies
are rather loosely defined, and, in fact, every one of them includes
"domain name owners".

The At Large is intended to represent individuals domain holders.
To review, this is the current representation scheme:
registries:6
registrars:3
ISPs:3
Business&organizations:3
TM:3
At-large:3
I think it is clear to everybody but the registries that the
registries are over-represented.
