[NCSG-PC] ePDP members consulting with membership

[Arsène Tungali]

Hi,

Just wanted to bring this up for consideration and I request this to be
seriously discussed. It is well known and agreed that ePDP members will be
advancing and representing the positions of their appointed groups, not
their personal views. This has been agreed upon based on the nature of this
effort.

NCSG reps will, therefore, be representing NCSG views in the WG, which is
different from other PDPs though that would be ideal and i am sure our
members have been doing their best to best represent us.

For the case of the ePDP, though this looks straightforward, I have been
wondering how we can ensure this is what really happens and what are the
tools that we will put in place to ensure this is the case. I think it is
time we develop some ways to track this and agree on what we need to do in
an event one of our reps is not reflecting our views/values or is not
consulting with us. I don't think we should "simply trust our
representatives".

We haven't discussed any event where a member may lose their membership to
the WG and how this may happen. Maybe this is somewhere in the OP or WG
Guidelines or somewhere so i will appreciate being pointed out to any
existing resources dealing with this specific case.

Thank you,

Arsene
