There are a few people who do not support the continuation of the
Intersessional, however a majority of the 2018 delegates rated it
in its evaluation as being valuable and serving a purpose. There
is not a formal NCSG position on the Intersessional, nor have we
discussed the topic on the NCSG/NCUC mailing lists recently. The
last time the topic was raised on our list, from what I recall,
there was widespread support for its continuation.

And I spent a lot of time and energy last year with
the planning meeting etc. Doesn't work out. Only a
handful of people are engaged with various matters and
can speak up in these meetings. We don't need it every
year. I have gotten most of the procedures done we
needed through emails. Why do we have to meet with CSG
every year? To say what we disagree on? We sure do
know that. To work on NCPH stuff? We can get them done
via email. </div>

<div dir="auto" class="">I look at the NCPH mailing list
and it looks very empty. Staff kept asking us for
things and we responded briefly or rarely. It's
another burden On a bunch of volunteers. NCPH is not
like council strategic meeting. Council members have
to be involved with everything and have to work
together. Ncsg and csg leaders don't in many respect
and it leads to not having meaningful conversation. No
concrete outcome has come out of any intersessional to
date. </div>
