[NCSG-FC] Observers

[Tapani Tarvainen]

Hi Ed,

I'm happy to have Milton and Rafik as observers if they are willing.

Candidate constituencues indeed have a right to appoint an observer by
our charter, but the last known representative of (candidate)
Consumers' Constituency left her organization last month and didn't
reply to my email asking about its affect on the constituency.

In any case I intend to recommend to the EC that the candidate
constituency status should be terminated, and if they agree the issue
will become moot.

I believe it's appropriate to have Constituency Chairs and financial leaders to be part of the finance conversation here at the SG level so would like to offer him the opportunity to join us as an Observer.

Coordination with the Policy Committee, particularly in carrying out our responsibility of working with ICANN staff to see that the NCSG is treated fairly in the budget and all matters financial, would be a plus. Adding Rafik to this list as an Observer would assist in this effort.
