Q: how initial members into one constituency comes in first place

Q: how it will be asured that say some registries comes together into
   initial constituency-how ever
   and descide they want nobody else to become a member and make some
   membership rules wich are hard to meet or unfair..what ever..
   -this is only a example nothing against registries :-)

in the further section it says

B. MEMBERSHIP IN THE CONSTITUENCIES:

The constituencies described herein are an initial set of
constituencies. The DNSO and the Names Council will develop fair and
open procedures for the creation, deletion, and merger of
constituencies; and adjustment of the representation of
constituencies on the Names Council.

    [COMMENT: there has been some discussion for mechanisms for doing
    this, but the issues are fairly complex. Several points:

it says

The DNSO and the Names Council will develop fair and
open procedures for the creation, deletion, and merger of
constituencies;

but not how you it will handle the membership befor the "membership" set
rules for the membership for its constituency...

may be that this questions makes no sense or are rather already answered
or the time is not yet to asnwer them but i place them anyhow...

thanks
sascha

ps.you sayed in your comment that you would on weekend comment more on..

    [COMMENT: The "non-commercial" constituency has been added, and
    the "At-Large" constituency has been removed.

    and will write more on the isue of individual membership wich could
    requayer a new and separate constituency for it as it may be proposed
    by the than name council or icann itself

    we hope so ..

    thanks
