Re: [nc-plan] Names Council Business Plan 2001-2002 Consultation

This looks good to me.  I guess the next issue is the process one.  I think
it is important that we get constituency support and feedback.  Perhaps we
should proposed that the NC formally forward the draft to each constituency
seeking their comment within, say, four weeks.
