John,  

I believe that your proposal is very interesting, but I´m not sure if it is
the time to this kind of proposals now. 

I think that the most important is the Chair election and work with the
Chair to improve the GA work in order to give the GA members a useful tool
to propose  and discuss different important DNSO related topics. 

I believe that after that, we can discuss if it is necessary to have a
formal representation of the GA in the NC, but let´s see the GA working
better first.
