Ellen,
Not so, as they have not proposed a constituancy as defined by ICANN.
They are all, of course, welcome to join the efforts of the TLDA, as
are you.

But now, with the testbed, we have 5 gTLD registrars, actually more,
since
CORE is among the group. CORE includes 90 registrars, two of which
are
also in the testbed (Melbourne IT and France Telecom), so in fact
there are
93 businesses that qualify under the gTLD registrar designation.
It appears, however, that the established "boundary conditions" have
set as
un fait accompli a constituency capture by a special interest (CORE),
90:3.
