  Not hardly Joop!  We have real members.  Ours are just more dedicated
to the all interested stakeholders than perhaps the IDNO's members perhaps.
See for instance:

Of course this link is a bit dated as our membership has grown substantially
sense it was originally posted.

  We can turn around a vote in 24hrs usually, and never longer than
5 days.  This is because we have several methods by which a member
can vote that is secure, and verifiable giving our members more options,
as well as making voting easier.  This is not to say that your voting booth
is not a good method, it is.  But it is only one method.  We spent
a significant amount of money $$ developing our voting methods
so a to make them integrated seamlessly to the voter.  The same
with our voter/member registration.  We have even offered to make
our "System" available to ICANN some time ago now.  They have yet
to respond unfortunately.  This would seem to indicate to me at least,
that the ICANN BoD and staff is not really interested in Stakeholders
of all types having the ability to vote.  We knew this some time ago,
and stated as such.  Sense then of course, the ICANN BoD, staff
members, and now the ALSC which was "Commissioned" by the
ICANN BoD and staff, have made noises in this direction on a number
of occasions as we all unfortunately are all to well aware...
