Danny,

Dominik,

The NCUC and the ALAC are two sides of the same coin. 
They are both collections of non-commercial organizations.  Yes, one has
a wider remit than the other, but just because the ALAC can potentially
look at numbering considerations doesn't mean that they do.

...and because it's basically the same group in two different packages
we have the same behavioral patterns at play.  

This is how it normally works:

One person writes up a statement and puts it out for comment.  Next,
nobody bothers to respond.
The text is then adopted as a Constituency Statement under the
ridiculous principle that silence implies consent.
