Which brings up another good point: if there voting members
representing that community do not put forth a registrar, then we
should simply drop them from the registrar bootstrap list.

Note that this isn't try to exclude anyone, but it's just an
acknowledgement that implementation communities may not have the
resources to participate as registrars at this point, or they may be
perfectly comfortable with the existing set of registrars and feel
that adding a special representative is not needed at this time.

They are always welcome to participate at a later date in a way that
they have resources to do so, and they would go through the normal
process at that time.
