I agree with Mary that we need more information about these groups Cheryl. I also find your list quite arbitrary and from reading it I echo Miltonšs comment that basically a user can be part of almost all of them. I think that this list is rather illusionary and we should be very careful as a non-commercial constituency before exemplifying the types of constituencies that should be formed. Your proposal might backfire and only allow voices to be heard in a very restrictive way (the 6 constituencies can only speak about issues that fall within their scope?) and I am sure that no one really wants this to happen.
