[NCSG-PC] ePDP members consulting with membership

[Ayden Férdeline]

Arsene,

What is your proposed solution? How would you suggest this concern that you want "seriously discussed" (thus implying we would not ordinarily give anything any serious consideration) be resolved?

It’s easy to flag real or perceived problems — but do you have any solutions?

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.

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".
