But I never said "restricting". :) And you're right, we couldn't do it if we tried. People will discuss where they want, discussions will migrate. But it doesn't hurt to encourage people to circulate their policy -related ideas as widely as possible to facilitate consensus. <br>

My limited perspective is we're getting a lot of NCUC only proposals and the ones we do get jointly agreed upon is based largely on the work of NCUC members. NPOC is being a bit parasitic. I'm not sure that is good for either constituency.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As noted, the NCUC does have a PC. I'm not sure it will survive the Charter re-write but I'm interested in speaking to my fellow EC members and see if we might want to make some appointments. We do have some active policy oriented members who have been doing good work but without any formal constituency or SG position. It might be a good idea to give them a slot. If we go that path, shouldn't they have an opportunity to initiate policy discussion amongst NCUC members only?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm also hopeful that a more open, new list would encourage participation by some of our more silent, newer members who may be a bit intimidated by some of the rough give and take on the NCSG list. That said, I do understand where you and Avri are coming from as well and you certainly have legitimate concerns. In the end, it comes back to the role of constituencies about which there is disagreement which is why I'm hesitant to even nudge people in a certain direction.</div>

I'm not sure we're at rough consensus yet, with just three weighing in, and, in particular, I'd like to factor in the views of our Chair who, according to the Charter, is pretty much omnipotent in matters relating to lists. When Bill proposed the NCUC list I didn't get the impression he was calling for creation of an administrative list, although I could be wrong. </span></div>
