Perhaps as a first step go back to CSG and say we are considering/or not 
their doc and will be proposing something or an alternative version - 
and put some deadline on it for us - maybe end of next week?

And, try to get agreement on a nomination period - say next week?  or 
two weeks from Monday?   Probably would be useful to have the CSG and 
NCSG nomination periods run in parallel.  Agree with CSG whether should 
be nomination and/or self nomination.

In the interim start work on the process?
