[PC-NCSG] CCWG-Accountability

[Avri Doria]

Hi

I have been waiting, hoping to hear at least one of the NPOC voices
before proceeding.

If you disagree, please say so, but the silent treatment?

Anyone?

We seem to have agreement on the NCUC side of the SG to move ahead with
a vote between the candidates.  And no new candidates have surfaced. 

Now the ccNSO has approved the charter.  Any chance we can become
functional on this?
