Technically changing the weights in the list is trivial (I think<br>

As far as we can see, what we’ve done for some years now is follow the NCSG Charter's vote weighting rather than the NCUC Bylaws' weighting, which was defined prior the SG's formation. You were on the NCUC EC when we did this in the 2013 election and I don’t recall it being an issue. There’s obviously an argument for having harmonization with the later and technically higher level model, no? Why should we change direction at this point?<br>

I’m about to get off a bouncy train in Zurich where I teach for four hours, and in any event have never touched the data base, so I’d rather make sure that our understanding fits with his.<br>
