as things are currently defined in the byLaws, that is right, it is  
board chartered constituencies that have Nomcom and PDP rights.  we  
need to see where things land as the Council's Work teams work through  
it all.  for me, though an full fledged Interest group and a  
constituency differ only in respect to requiring the Board's blessing  
of the charter.  the both need to be active contributing entitles  
before they are marked as real.
