<p>Fair enough Mark. Perhaps "a way to deactivate members who have become unresponsive" may be a better way of putting this. I also may fall within the "passive" as well as I don't think I participate/represent as much within NCUC.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Unresponsive could mean there is a time set to check on members and those who don't respond after certain number of retries can be de-commissioned/de-membered (sort of a better word)<o:p></o:p></p>

civil society's role in Internet Governance in my academic setting (I teach Internet Governance on our LLM Programme at my home institute and discuss NCSG's role within ICANN to a lesser extent when teaching at the London School of Economics. <o:p></o:p></p>
