  Small wonder that the NC Agenda has this item on it.  Indeed it does
not belong on the NC agenda.  However the NC has the right and the
ability to do so should they so choose.

  Nor do I.  As far as I know WXW and Peter seem to be the only'
ones thus far the seem to desire to.

 Such procedures must be decided by majority vote by the GA members.
Thus far motions put forth for such procedures have been refused a ballot
by the GA secretariat.  Therefore such procedures of this nature do not
exist and are likely not to in the near term.  However, lack of such
procedures
is a minor issue at present as there are MUCH more pressing issues
that the GA and the DNSO need to address.

  There is not chaos that I can see at the moment to address, Joop.  If
you believe there is, please state clearly and concisely what the nature of
your perception of "The Chaos" is.  Failing to do so, leaves great
doubt in your perception...

  Appointment of Chairs for the now rarely used "Sub-Lists" which have
plainly shown to divide rather than to assist in policy making within the
GA, is an improper approach to such determination.  Should such
a determination be necessary, a VOTE by the GA members is
the proper procedure to affect such a solution...
