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

[William Drake <william.drake@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ditto Mary's explanation, the suggestion of two was not based on a SG 
representation model, but rather the value-added of the different orientations 
they'll bring to the table.  Which, per previous, will likely mesh in important 
respects with the views of other SGs rather than double representing a singular 
NCSG view.

Best,

Bill
