that is indicated in the call for volunteers so everyone understand what
they are commiting to.

before thinking about the worse case, we are working  on coordinating NCSG
positions and giving input to our appointed representatives ( again
indicated in the call for volunteers as matter of expectation) and they are
expected to consult us (ditto). We as PC will also monitor the discussion
in the EPDP team via the updates, listening to audiocast of the calls or
checking  any other useful reporting. I also suggested to have a specific
regular EPDP related call to discuss any related topic. any other channel
or mechanism is welcome without putting more pressure or burden .

not sure to understand this case since it is the NCSG like other groups
which appoints or replaces its own representatives. unless you mean  the
representatives was restrircted or something similar by the EPDP team
chair? if a representative is unable for any reason to continue, we got
alternate who are supposed to be ready to step in at any time. We are also
there to avoid things from escalating and will give guidance to our
representatives.

we need be mindful to need overengineer here. We are going to have the
channels for communication, ensure giving regular input to and request
updates from representatives so they can be aware. but more important we as
obsevers have follow closely the discussion in the EPDP team. We are
setting clear expectations  in the call for volunteers for the
representatives and they are also going to sign the statement.

when a particular case happen that needs intervention, we can deal with it
at that time.

Best,

Rafik
