Debra,<div><br></div><div>Actually, I am not incorrect. You are confusing the NCSG policy committee (5 people) with the NCSG membership (aprox. 200 members).<div><br></div><div>I'm happy to hear you have occasionally found some time to participate on calls with the 5 people on the NCSG Executive Committee. </div><div><br></div><div>However, for the record, you have not participated in a single NCSG policy call (monthly discussions open to the entire membership) since your appointment.</div><div><br></div><div>As you asked, I checked my records on your attendance at these monthly policy calls of the membership:</div><div> Oct. Seated by Board/Staff</div><div> Nov NCSG Monthly Policy Call: Nov 24: Debra Hughes - Absent</div><div> Dec. NCSG Monthly Policy Call: Dec. 14 Debra Hughes - Absent</div><div> Jan. NCSG Monthly Policy Call: Jan 6: Debra Hughes - Absent</div><div> Feb. NCSG Monthly Policy Call: Feb 17: Debra Hughes - Absent</div><div> March NCSG Monthly Policy Call: Mar 31: Debra Hughes - Absent</div><div> April NCSG Monthly Policy Call: April 20: Debra Hughes - Absent</div><div> May NCSG Monthly Policy Call: May 19: Debra Hughes - Absent</div><div> June NCSG Monthly Policy Call: June 9: Debra Hughes - Absent</div><div><br></div><div>If you were in fact present at any calls (and we just didn't know it, because you didn't speak up) please let us know and we'll gladly reflect it in the record.</div><div><br></div><div>These monthly policy calls are important to the NCSG membership because they tend to be only opportunity to talk in person with the NCSG councilors about what is happening at the GNSO Council. So they are important both for the NCSG GNSO Councilors to hear what the membership thinks on issues and to inform the membership on what is going on at the Council. We'd gladly schedule the calls to accommodate your busy schedule if you can work with us and let us know your availability in the future. </div><div><br></div><div>I hope you'll understand why these meetings are important to both the membership and to you and try to make an effort to begin attending.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Robin</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Jun 17, 2010, at 7:56 AM, Debra Hughes wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div class="Section1"><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><font size="2" color="blue" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: blue; ">Robin,<o:p></o:p></span></font></div><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><font size="2" color="blue" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: blue; "><o:p> </o:p></span></font></div><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><font size="2" color="blue" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: blue; ">I am very disappointed by your INCORRECT comment that I have not “found the time to participate in a single NCSG policy call over the last year (or on this NCSG mailing list)”.
