[PC-NCSG] Do we need to have a call?

[David Cake]

I welcome this suggestion. I don't think the NCSG-PC needs to discuss every item on the council agenda, or we could cover several most meetings in very short order. Information only items should really be covered via email. Spending a little less time discussing the entire council agenda would leave some time for other items. 

I do not think we need a second monthly call - though, if necessary, I would be ok with a one off to establish a chair and clear some backlog.

Avri suggested that given the workload and past experience with inconsistent chairing it?d be desirable to have a non-Councilor in the role (although then we have a chair elected by a constituency rather than the whole SG).  I?m not aware that the conversation has proceeded beyond this, has it?  It would seem pressing to resolve.
