I believe that you are the one trying to mandate the GA to discuss, by
forcing the issue in the agenda, an issue that the GA is not concerned
with, as it is a matter for the Names Council. I don't have any problems
with the GA discussing anything it wants, but I don't see a reason to force
it on them.

I feel very strongly about this, but I am just one member of the NC, if a
majority of the NC  believe otherwise, then we should do otherwise.

may contribute and be heard.

On policy issues, not on managment issues that are clearly to be decided by
the NC.

> I suggested that the  NC would do well to listen to the wishes of the
General Assembly as the NC role is to measure consensus in the community.
It is also te case that many GA participants also belong to the
constituencies represented by the NC members. 

I fully agree. I do believe that we are doing it by participating in the GA
list and the WGs. Do you believe that we are not doing it?
