Mr. Bikoff spent the entire week in Costa Rica as a lobbyist for the IOC. He took the microphone many times and always began by saying he was a member of the Intellectual Property Constituency - and I was surprised because he had just applied to join NCSG as well. This is becoming a serious problem: we've had over half a dozen applications to join NCSG from members of the IPC in recent months and obviously this kind of gaming and manipulation cannot continue to go on without a statement. We may need to write a formal complaint to the IPC, the Board, or the Ombudsman so the IPC will stop playing these games.

On an unrelated note, Schulman needs to be a member of NCSG before she can be on the NCSG EC. I expect this will happen in the next few days, but we should keep in mind not to appoint people to positions they are not yet eligible to hold.

I can add Lori to the EC and PC lists as soon as her organization is accepted for membership in NCSG, which I expect will be in a couple days. However, constituencies should remember that they can only appoint NCSG members to the NCSG EC / PC. So please be sure the names you appoint have already been accepted into NCSG for membership. Dorothy Gordon is not an observer for NCUC, she is the observer from the candidate Consumer Constituency. Candidate constituencies have an observer right on the EC as per the NCSG Charter. Please also bear in mind that these substitute appointments are coming in the middle of the term, which end every year at the annual meeting. So these terms end with the annual meeting this year and each constituency will need to make their new appointments for the next year's term. Also, those websites you want changed are not maintained by NCSG and I have no posting rights to them. If there are specific issues you want discussed, please don't wait for a meeting to be called, let's use the EC mailing list to get the ball rolling on any needed discussions. That is what it is there for.

Missing documentation for realtively new applications, like Trinidad & Tobago Internet Society Chapter, will be forwarded as we obtain them. Please advise if you have any issue with any pending application and Klaus will address them as NPOC's Membership Committee Chair.

Additionally I'll inform James Bikoff of his ineligibility to join NCSG since he is already an active member in the Intellectual Property Constituency and one can't be a member of both the CSG and NCSG under GNSO rules intended to prevent gaming the system. Please weigh in on the remaining pending applications when you have an opportunity. Thanks, Robin
