[NCSG-EC] Fwd: fw: Matthew Shears is no longer with CDT Re: SSC Note

[Tapani Tarvainen]

Hi All,

Just a note, we didn't discuss this during the call, I forgot to bring it up but
all I was going to say that we don't need to do anything about it.

The only difference from Konstantinos' and other similar cases was that Matthew
was NCUC's representative in the Policy Committee as well as its Vice Chair,
but he resigned from those positions to even that issue became moot.

We could discuss these situations in general at some point, there're some
potential pitfalls there, but the acute situation is over.

If Matthew Shears applied, then whats the problem - like a little window of technically not being a member? If we see this window as a serious problem, we can change the rules to make sure that all new members apply in their individual capacity, and then we have no windows. If nonetheless, what we want is to have an ability to punish people for such windows, then we go ahead, haha:) My intuitive opinion thats its just whats happens when we have these dual organizational/individual applications, and I cannot see any bad faith attempt on behalf of Matthew Shears in this case.
