[NCSG-PC] Comment on Membership structure of EPDP

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi Ayden,

thanks,
option 1 is what I would call "council model", i.e. following exactly the
distribution of council, 6-6-3-3. my gut feeling is that we will end up
with a 3-per-SG.
I think we need to be explicit about the distribution, equality and balance
are principles but open of course to "interpretation" from other parties.
I also added a suggestion about AC representation.

Best,

Rafik

At NCPH The number of NCSG epdp members should be equal to CSG epdp members.
