RE: [council] Volunteer for Vertical Integration PDP Charter Drafting Team

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mary.  That is my feeling as well for a charter drafting team but I did 
not want to presume that others felt the dame way.

        Thanks to Liz and Chuck for their clarifications and suggestions.
         
        I agree that the DT should be reasonably small, and would in this case 
personally prefer not to set numbers for each SG/SO/AC, or worry about 
matching/equivalence. In other situations and over other issues, equal 
representation of each group may be a fundamental concern, but in this case I 
believe NCSG is recommending Avri and Milton not because we believe we (or 
everyone) needs at least two (or however many) representatives. Rather, and for 
the reasons that Bill has stated, Avri and Milton will best represent NCSG in 
terms of what is likely to be a difficult preliminary issue (i.e. scoping out 
the WG). 
         
        Cheers
        Mary

I wouldn't see any problem with that.  I just think it would be best to keep it 
as small as reasonably possible because of the short timeframe and limited 
task.  If the CSG wants three to cover three constituencies, would you want 
three?  (BTW, they have not asked for three.)
 
Chuck

        Chuck, 

        Two.  There are some fundamental issues in the air about the proper 
scope and terms of reference for the WG that need to be sorted out by the DT.  
Even if NCSG were to resolve its internal differences on these points, there 
would probably still be differences between the houses once the discussion gets 
to specifics. We're dealing with a rather variable geometry of perspectives, 
and as I say both people mentioned will add to working these things through.

        Best,

        Bill

                How many do you think the NCSG needs for the charter drafting 
team, not for the WG.

                        Hi 

                        And from NCSG, Avri Doria and Milton Mueller.  

                        One participant from each SG would not work for NCSG, 
as we have a couple of contending perspectives in play, with multiple members 
aligned with each.  Avri and Milton have been very active and thoughtful 
proponents of those respective perspectives, both of which overlap/synergize in 
some ways with the positions advanced by other SGs.  Should be an interesting 
discussion...

                        Best,

                        Bill
