It was just after the Board had decided to do away with the work we'd done on JAS-WG. However, they later on changed their mind and "encouraged us to carry on with the work." </div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<p class="MsoNormal"></p><div>Hmmm - the way I read our proposed Charter is that a
Constituency however formed (whether from within or by direct application to
the Board)<br>
<br>
When it is within NCSG (whether formed from within or attached by the Board)<br>
<br>
Is then bound by our Charter rules on voting, Councillors etc<br>

</div><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">That
would be incorrect. </span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">If NPOC is formed under our proposed NCSG charter, then it is
bound by our rules on voting, Councillors, etc. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">But our charter is not in effect yet, and clearly Amber and
Debbie are not applying under those rules.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">So if the constituency is approved before the NCSG charter is
approved, we really have no idea how NCSG works. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">And it is possible, though not likely, that we revert to the old
constituency rules, which creates the walled garden/silos.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">No way around it: Debbie and Amber’s move was untimely and not
constructive. Even if you like their constituency proposal, the way they’ve
done it creates a mess.</span></p></div></div></div></blockquote></div>
