I guess you need to be careful on a per company or group basis as we have
several LIR's around Europe but all under the same company. You would not
want one person per separate LIR in each country voting on the same issue as
the company would probably have the same view.

OK, I buy the arguments of Neil and Andre. Of course there is always the
risk of one company sending a large group and hijacking the process which
is easier with a formal vote than with rough consensus. But I guess for
simplicity it then has to be one person one vote.
