Eric, I agree with you that it would be a good idea to have a chair that could effectively represent both small and large registrars. I thought that Bhavin did a great job of representing smaller registrars with respect to the budget negotiations and would be a good candidate for the constitutency chair. Bhavin,is this something you would be interested in doing?

[second try, as I'd left a sentence incomplete.] Bruce, Much as I'd like to see a technical person take on a leadership role in the RC, the last set of issues -- WLS and the budget -- have brought to light a tension between large and small registrars. Some large registrars either sat out the WLS issue (RCOM) or approved the expansion of "registry service" (NSI), and some took positions on how the cost-side of the budget pie was to be carved that were kinder to their bottom lines than to the continued function of the RC. I hope to see candidates from outside of the few large registrars compete for the ex-com spot. Eric
