It’s a vital relationship for NCSG, not a prize to be doled out, and I hope it goes to a candidate with an appreciation of the history and importance of that relationship. I am focussed on other funding possibilities for NCSG at the current time, and considering my time commitments carefully, and I expect to be for the next year, but I find the idea of wanting to make decisions in advance based on personalities and outside of the actual context quite odd. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>So, given you are already a councillor and an EPDP member, both of which have higher time commitments than an EC member, can I ask you if you are interested in serving in another leadership role, namely as our representative to the Public Interest Registry?
