Thanks Alejandro for this clarification
I would even add, that the use of the Internet by consumers is also a
commercial activity.
I have obviously nothing against that, but this seems to me a different
issue than within a constituency made of non-commercial organisations.
In the At-Large, you address the individual level, with no distinction
between com and non-com (consuner or citizen), which is fine.

Concerning the accountability, I do not want to mistrust the SO elected
board members. It is equally wrong to oppose 50% non accountable SO
elected board members, to 50% accountable At Large board members.
This 50/50 splitting has no background, and the perception of
accountability, as discussed currently, is not adequate (nor demonstrated).

Last point: Do not forget that the ultimate task of the directors, is to
be responsible of the Company. This is completely different from, for
instance, representing a constituency in the DNSO!
So we cannot require from the directors (in terms of accountability) to
behave like representatives. It a different game.
