RE: [council] GA Chair.

[Theresa Swinehart <Theresa.Swinehart@wcom.com>]

Raul,

I agree we should wait a bit for responding, if needed..

While I would like to participate in the GA discussions and think we all
could have good contributions (as you note, we are members) I have concerns
about NC members participating, is that we need to select the procedure, and
also elect in the end the chair. I think if we participate in the GA
discussions (even though we're members), it will raise a question whether
there is a conflict there and whether we can then decide and vote in an
unbiased way.

It's a similar issue to the NC representatives on the working groups - and
their level of participation. Now this doesn't mean we can't encourage our
constituency members to participate, which I think we need to.

I´m sorry. I have not participated very much in the list the last days
because I have been ill and my sons didn´t allow me to work very much with
the notebook in the bed.

I´m back in the real world now.

I'd like to tell you that I agree with the prior mails from Theresa and
Victoria about the ga discussion.

I agree with the Theresa proposal but I agree with Victoria about to be
careful with the NC messages. We have to wait a little more.

I believe that may be, instead of send a NC position to the ga list we can
to actively participate in the discussion. What do you think about it ?
Could it be positive or not?

Remember that we are members of the General Assembly too.
