<br>
Thank you for the suggestion.<br>
<br>
Actually there is no such things as BSG in ICANN, the<br>
rule is that NCUC, IPC and ISPC each get one and BC<br>
gets two slots, while NPOC gets none.<br>
<br>
So CSG actually gets four slots for three constituencies<br>
and NCSG gets one for its two constituencies.<br>
<br>
>From NCSG point of view the proper thing would be<br>
for CSG and NCSG each have three, but at the very<br>
least NPOC should have one, too.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure this is optimal time to ask this question,<br>
I suspect they'd just reply "wait until next review",<br>
but reminding them of the issue would not hurt, so I<br>
guess we can ask this if we have no more urgent<br>
questions at hand.<br>
