  • Thread-topic: [council] Council meeting today

I was not clear on that and, even if I was, that was after our follow-up

It's still not clear what's going on w/r/t the allocation of seats in NCSG

It seems quite clear that the Board is not going to do anything with regard to 
Board seats 13 and 14 before the end of July.  I thought they made that clear
