[NCSG-PC] GNSO SSC - Naveed and Raymond

[Stephanie E Perrin]

I suggest you send it out to the list again, emphasizing that these 
positions have a very low workload, no technical expertise required, 
just the ability to make good appointment decisions. Thank the two 
volunteers for being willing to continue, but indicate that it is not 
really fair to ask them to represent NCSG while performing key roles for 
ALAC.

Maybe someone will turn up if you beg.  I will work over a couple of 
candidates.  Really, NCSG is going from beached whale status to rotting 
carcass if we cannot get someone to perform this role.

cheers Steph
