Constituencies are supposed to self-define, so it means what the group 
decides it means. From what I've read on the lists, there is support for 
including "prospective registries."

ICANN has asked for comment, however, on whether the gTLD and ccTLD 
distinction should be dropped in favor of an "open TLD" and "closed TLD" 
distinction. See below.

Further Comment Requested:

In order to more fully explore an issue raised by one comment submitted 
in reaction to the draft ICANN Bylaw changes the ICANN Board seeks 
further comment on the following question:

Should the initial DNSO Constituencies currently identified as "ccTLD 
registries" and "gTLD registries" be re-categorized as "open registries" 
and "closed registries," identified according to whether the registry is 
open to any registrant, worldwide ("open"), or is instead limited to 
certain registrants based on geography, intended use, or other criteria 
("closed")?
