I had no idea you folks were doing all that work! Can you
please point us to the meeting transcripts and mailing list
archives? I would like to catch up. I am on the GNSO Council
finance committee</font></font>, <font size="+1">but was
unaware all this work was going on within NCSG. Perhaps the
Finance Committee should have a regular update agenda item at

think it would
amount to not wanting to make Finance Committee improve on
its working
processes and mandate to sound it off as mere “protecting
