Hi,

I understand that the NCUC wants to ask for reconsideration of the  
charter, and I don't disagree, though I also do not hold out much hope  
for a favorable resolution at this time - as far as I can tell they  
are circling the wagons and making sure that none of the Board members  
waver in the light of outside pressure.

What I am curious about is what do we want to do about forming the  
NCSG.  There is an approved charter and it could be used even while  
asking for reconsideration - we can be explicit about following  
through with the less then acceptable charter until such time as it is  
replaced by a proper charter is a matter of expediency and does not  
reflect any acceptance of the SG for that charter.

What I am worried about is that we would add self-injury to those  
injuries already being inflicted by the powers that be,.  I.e. in  
addition to being denied the 3 seats that should belong to the NCSG  
but currently are being controlled by the Board and Staff, we would  
also be down one seat in that Carlos' terms ends and a replacement  
needs to be chosen at the SG level.

Just asking.
