If i were elected to the board I would, given the opportunity, present 
views and opinions to the board, regardless of the 'class', even though 
the 'demand' class member would be on the board to represent the 
registrant and end users.

Issues relating to registrants, end users, resellers, registrars and auDA 
are interdependent. If there is an issue relating to 'supply' which could, 
in the short/long term effect registrants and/or end users then I would 
present my views with an expectation that they have some impact on the 
decisions being made.

my meaning:
Progressive: not 'if it aint broke. dont fix it' - listen to stakeholders 
and take action. just because it fits, doesn't mean it shouldnt, or cant 
be changed for something better or improvements made.
Systematic: review, take action, scheduled review, - not 'if it aint 
broke. dont fix it'



Anyhow,
