No, that was not agreed to. I relatively sure about that, because I
suggested it :-) There was some side discussion I was involve in to
the effect that maybe NSI would get 1 rep and the ccTLDs would get 5
reps. The reason for not doing the split explicitly (which I agreed
with, once I was aware of it) is that the effect would be to
immediately give NSI three seats on the NC, since it is the only
gTLD registry at this time.
The switch to a 3/3 split between gTLDs and ccTLDs was discussed as
a later change.

I agree with you on this point -- we are heading for trouble over
this point.

I think you may be right about this. Suggest some wording.

It is not a definition of the at-large. The at-large is specially
called out in the application as the constituency for members who
are not in any other constituency. Section d is for businesses and
organizations.
Perhaps there should be a section f in appendix B that defines the
at-large?
