> Konstantinos, as to official NPOC policy statements of any kind, and as I explained to Joy not long ago, please understand that we are in the process of organizing/funding NPOC as well as undergoing elections. Therefore, we are not in the position to be very active nor effective in policy issues right now. In due course, this will change and meanwhile I ask for your understanding and patience. To summarize, better stick to a NCUC position. You can certainly state that NPOC has not consulted its membership for reasons stated above (organization of new NPOC Constituency and first full fledged NPOC Constituency elections - or maybe use wording such as transition in leadership if you prefer).

Hi, 

I am having trouble understanding this.  

Is NPOC declaring itself out of the PC for the time it takes it to rearrange its house.  Or is it declaring some sort of 2 vote veto on any and all possible NCSG Policy decisions until it finishes its reorganization and elections?

As I understand the NCSG PC it is empowered to make Policy decisions for the NCSG.  And since it operates under rough consensus rules it means that it can decide to go ahead even if some voting members of the group are against, as long as their point of view has been expressed, discussed and understood.  I don't understand a modality that says, we are going to take a break from participating for a while, so you guys can't do anything as an NCSG PC.

But maybe I misunderstood what you wrote.

thanks
