[EC-NCSG] Updates & prepare for Dublin meeting

[Rudi Vansnick]

As a member of the NCSG-EC I?m a bit surprised we never had a thoughtful and profound discussion about the use of membership tools for our stakeholder group and constituencies. Each will certainly have specific requirements and objectives. The requirements to become a member in each of the groups is different and thus requires appropriate processes and adequate tools to manage.

Why has this never been on the agenda of the NCSG-EC ? Aside the approval of members, which took always too much time, nothing has ever been discussed allowing to avoid the waste of time on membership approval processes. 

I hope the next NCSG-EC will take care of these issues and have a transparant process on what affects immediately the working elements of the SG and its constituencies.

See you in Dublin,
