It would be interesting to know how many members belong to the DNRC,
whether there are publicly attended meetings of the general membership, how
is it funded, how its membership feels about the jewsforjesus.org case and
Ms. Barry's views- 

the kind of thing that would justify the statements that DNRC has part of a
mandate to participate in the DNS process that exceeds that of the World
Intellectual Property Organization.
