AFAIK, PAB is *not* a body of individuals, but rather one of oganisations/companies. In that context, each org/co can decide on their own who they actually want to put up as spokesperson. If a single person actually manages to get delegated the vote of a few different companies, then why shouldn't that person vote for each and every one of those organisations. Whether or not to concentrate their votes into a single person is a matter for individual org's/co's to decide for. And Antony, if you could get hundreds of co's/org's (not people) to  sign the gTLD-MoU and then join the PAB, then why haven't you yet done so? Wasn't it one of the objectives of the chairperson in the "pre-charter" (or whatever)?

John,

Mea culpa.  I did send in around ten, a rather paltry effort, and all of them Internet companies.  How limited my sight, how meager my imagination.

Your principles are correct in my opinion.  I still don't love it.

Antony
