Is it not a question of what is in the charter or not and not a question 
of what has been done. If it is not in the charter it has no effect on 
the election outcome,

How do we decide on what the NCSG body politics agrees? What is the 
process?. Votes?. I want to avoid that those who scream loudest are seen 
as the majority.

It is possible, but does it make sense to start a war every time someone 
does not agree with us.? As far as I can see the NPOC position is 
clearly expressed and stated.

Again, understandings can not replace a charter. We have to obey to some 
minimum standards of following the rules.

Challenge away, this seems to be a case for the Ombudsman. Must be some 
kind of record after just one day of voting.

I wish we could put our energies into more constructive issues.
