  Yes I am aware that WXW submitted the request.  Hence my earlier comments.

  I agree with this sentiment and policy. I also agree, as I stated that the

NC has the right to decide what is on the NC agenda, should it so choose
to do so.  As a matter of procedure this seems reasonable.

  Yes Peter, I know!!!  That was AGAIN why I stated the comment you
reference!
If you had not interpreted it in this negative light, you would of course
instantly understood it!  Obviously now, I see that you decided to
take a negative view!  That is terribly unfortunate, and very inappropriate.

I was supporting the NC in setting it's own agenda as well as taking
input to that agenda from the GA.
