Particularly given concerns expressed in the SG PC meeting that some of the other topics we have are the kinds of things that may not prompt particularly useful conversations with them as they're not bounded short-term operational matters etc?

Thanks for your input.  I'll let you know if you receive any response from the board on the request.

While we understand that a corporation bylaws 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.
