NO WAY!
--------------
With respect to the two delegates named by large and small business users, 
the Business Constituency has proposed that, since it consists of both 
large and small businesses and business organizations, it could reasonably 
be the source of both the large and small business delegates. We note that 
there are today no existing "Large" or "Small" Business Constituencies, 
just a "Business" Constituency. While we understand that some steps have 
been taken to begin organizing a "Small" Business Constituency, we also 
note that many of the business organizations that are members of the 
Business Constituency do claim to represent large numbers of both large and 
small businesses (both directly and through globally distributed 
association membership). Thus, while we encourage all efforts to expand the 
representation of businesses globally, we believe that an appropriate and 
practical short-term solution is to allow the existing Business 
Constituency to select two delegates to the Nominating Committee, one 
demonstrably reflecting large business interests and perspectives and the 
other those of small businesses. If and when any new constituencies are 
recognized by the ICANN Board (which would of course require a showing that 
they would adequately represent the interests globally of the entities they 
purport to represent), this issue can be revisited.

It would require a showing that the BC adequately represents globally the 
interests of the Business entities they purport to represent. It certainly 
represents Telcos and sTLDs.

I have left the BC after two years deonstrating they do not give a dam 
about small businesses. To share in the ERC announced SME constituency.

I suggest that every entrepreneur on the GA and ALSC join forces with Danny 
Younger to support the charter of the SME constituency.
