-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Same goes for me. I am a representative of the NCSG in the Council and I try to make sure that my NCSG membership is what is listed in every WG or whatever I participate in. More than that I consider myself a member of NCSG first. I join the NCUC while the NCSG was in formation and as the chair of the NCSG executive committee throughout that reorganization process formed a very strong allegiance to the NCSG and its charter. I also belong to the NCUC since that is the only group there was to join when I joined. I am fond of the NCUC and support many of its goals in so far as I think they are consistent with NCSG goals. I definitely caucus with the NCUC on many issues. Coincidentally I am also a member of the zombie candidate Consumer Constituency. avri On 23-Sep-14 14:51, David Cake wrote: > I also consider myself an NCSG councillor, though my organisation > is a member of NCUC and not a member of NPOC. > > There are some issues I may discuss mostly with NCUC colleagues, > but as far as I am concerned all council votes are discussed with > NCSG.
