Thanks, Stephane. In view of the discussion at our lunch meeting with the 
Board, I  feel obliged to point out that while NPOC does not have a seat on the 
Council as an individual constituency, they are in fact represented through the 
SG structure by Councilors elected by the SG as a whole.

In the NCSG Charter as approved by the Board, Council elections are done 
SG-wide and not on a constituency basis. The NCSG framework is similar to that 
in the Registries SG, where members join the SG and may also, within it, join 
constituencies (in the Ry SG, these sub-groups are called interest groups).

Thanks and cheers
Mary
