I have always found a major lack of agreement about who the at-large is supposed to be. One group believes it is the domain registrants who are not part of other constituencies, which more or less means individuals (like me) who register personal vanity domains. The other group believes that it's all the Internet users who are not parts of other consitutencies, all the people who have never registered a domain and never will, but use domains every day when they use the Internet. In a lot of areas, the interests of these two groups are the same, e.g., we all would prefer that our registrars were competent and honest. But in a lot of other areas, they aren't, with WHOIS being the most obvious place. Am I the only one who thinks that non-registrants count, or is ALAC a club for vanity registrants?
