Jeez, Milton, it would help if you paid attention. I quoted that very
BC language, and in *fact* it has no restriction based on membership in
another constituency. Their language very carefully dodges that bullet
by defining the character of the organizations excluded and not
mentioning membership in a constituency.
If our language was modeled on theirs, then our drafters did a lousy job
of following the model. And if you would have read just a bit more you
would have discovered that I proposed language that *was* modeled on the
BC language as a possible replacement that won't run foul of the ICANN
bylaws.
It would just be silly to use language that obviously contradicts those
bylaws, when you can get the same effect with other language that
doesn't contradict the bylaws.
