NCSG Minority report on the EPDP phase 2a final report

There is a short thread in the PC archives, starting here: 
https://lists.ncsg.is/pipermail/ncsg-pc/2021-September/004093.html

The datestamp is odd, because I sent it at 11.26 EST on Thursday.  
However, the PC had been warned it was coming at 12:16 pm Thursday.

I appreciate your concern for procedure, but as an active participant in 
policy committee meetings for the last 7 years, I seem to recall plenty 
of last minute statement approvals.  I briefed the PC on what was going 
on at the EPDP at the last meeting.  SIlence is read as consent.  Milton 
raised his objections, and I attempted to provide language that would 
cover his concerns.  However, if you wish to have the statement 
withdrawn, by all means contact the PC chair, Tomslin.

Kind regards,

Stephanie Perrin
