Kent,

I think that the two points are adequate.

We fell into this trap in Yokohama (sorry, my fault).
We moved fro a WG, the NC trapped us into a "wide scope" DNSO review, 
and the DNSO Review committee is going nowhere, simply there is zip 
discussion in the NC, obviously because there's no interest in changing.


That we are not progressing in the Individual Constituency is another 
issue. But this should not prevent us from re-addressing the problem.

So what?
You may be right (even if I'm not sure I would agree) about the election
 of the DNSO Board Members, but definitively we are talking about the GA
 Chair. Who else should be electing the GA Chair if not the GA? ANd why?

If it is @captured@, so what? Under the current circumstances it is 
worse than having the risk to be captyured, it is certain not to be 
representative of the GA.

Roberto
