[NCSG-PC] Fwd: [council] Council Prioritization Exercise

[farzaneh badii]

I am not going to include point 2 on RPM since there is silence from the
rest of the PC.

But I am going to send this as my personal prioritization. I think we need
to be vocal on Transfers Dispute Mechanism. We have discussed this before
but if I don't get some kind of acknowledgement from others I will send it
in my personal capacity for now. let me know if thats ok
