+1 to keeping it restricted to the PC. Robin put it very nicely!

Oggetto: Re: [NCSG-PC] Fwd: Request for confirmation of members - GNSO  Standing Selection Committee

This is a decision of the NCSG PC.  It is a matter before the NCSG PC.  I suggest we allow the NCSG PC to handle this as has been its practice and pursuant to the PC Chair’s guidance.

I would not be in favor of turning NCSG decisions over to constituencies as suggested below.  The SG and C have separate roles and responsibilities and this proposal muddies those waters in dangerous and slippery ways.

Thanks,
Robin
