[PC-NCSG] Letter to Board re NPOC seat on Nomcom

[Maria Farrell]

I support avri's letter, too. I think it would be a mistake to tie in the academic seat - background too murky, will cause delay in this letter & open up opportunity to board to obfuscate by saying it 's too difficult or complicated, or external parties should be drawn in, etc etc.

While we understand that a By-Laws change is required for this, we would have expected the Board to have taken care of this within a year of having created a mechanism for the creation of new constituencies and having approved the creation of NPOC. It has been much longer and we understand that NPOC has tried to get this taken care of.
