[NCUC-EC] Report from NCUC issue forum

Benjamin and All,
The question is on the table: why are we paying anyone to summarize our
work? The Issues Forum (Parts I and II) took many, many hours of
planning, drafting, slides, and preparation. Yet, no one in NCUC can
summarize it? That's a traditional entry role to policy - someone
summarizing current policy debate and finding their own views and voice
for policy work.
I have not gotten any answers yet: how much have we promised someone to
write a summary and why could not one of the people paid for travel to
ICANN78 write this summary (for free)?
These are very simple questions pending since ICANN78- and I've been
sent in circles (a waste of a volunteer's time).
Benjamin, you said Mili would know; Mili, you said Benjamin will
answer. I'm now offline.
