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. a.
