<p>It is unfortunate that the original perspectives and issues from
early on in this process are not reflected in the new paper and
certainly not in the second half which is - as Ed describes below
- entirely and very unfortunately focussed on getting rid of the
house structure. <br>
</p>
<p>Attached are the early "findings" that reflect a far broader and
more representative set of issues of concern to GNSO. Some of
these I think we could have agreed to work on - but these are not
in the new paper.<br>

<div>Fellow NCUC members,</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">At last year's intercessional meeting
the CSG and NPOC combined to cause creation of this GNSO Futures
group. Arriving late due to flight problems, I opposed creation
of a NCPH working group such as this as being completely
illegitimate and inimical to the interests of the NCUC. Too
late. The group was formed.</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">This report by Tony Holmes is a
completely biased farce. It is the CSG's wet dream with all
proposed "solutions" to the "problem" of the GNSO House
structure calling for the elimination of the House structure.
That is not in the interest of the NCUC nor is further
participation in this group. Any consideration of the future of
the GNSO should be done alongside our partners in the Contracted
Party House. The NCPH is a voting structure that has served us
well, not an organisational cohort with which we should be
involved in as a policy making or proposing institution.</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">I am not a member of the GNSO Futures
Group as I opposed its creation and existence. Let me state my
belief that the House structure has served the NCUC and the
noncommercial community well and that any switch to a
constituency based structure is contrary to the interests of
the NCUC and our members. The Westlake study, despite its many
flaws, correctly did not support structural change in the GNSO
at this time. This so called Futures group and this report is
nothing more than a backwards run around the proper and
legitimate GNSO review that included all components of the GNSO.
Therefore:</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">1. I ask all NCUC members of this
group to oppose publication of this report;</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">2. I would ask the NCUC EC and our
membership to reconsider our participation in this group and, in
fact, to affirmatively cease our support of and participation in
this group in any way, shape and manner.</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">I would also suggest that once
consensus in this matter is reached within the NCUC we reach out
to our colleagues in NPOC to discuss this matter. I do not
believe empowerment of the CSG, the end result of any of the
"reform" options, is in the interest of any component of the
NCSG. </div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">In our Council meeting next week we
will be considering approval of a drafting team (DT) report that
brings the transition reforms into the GNSO. The four members of
the NCUC who participated on the DT (myself, Farzi, Matt and
Amr) worked diligently and successfully to port the new powers
into the GNSO based upon the current house structure within
Council. We did so with the full support of RrSG and RySG. They,
not the CSG, are our true partners in structural issues within
the GNSO. We should no longer participate in a GNSO review that
excludes them. This proposed report is an example of how giving
the NCPH legitimacy as anything more than a voting algorithm is
not in our interest. </div>
