Me.  For details, see minutes of deletes conference call.

No. Least not that I've seen. I am not sure how we went about 
generating statements in the past.  But, on the deletes issue, as you 
may have seen, I've been trying to encourage some reaction from the 
NCC membership. Problem is we have no history of comment on this 
topic, and I had no intention of simply drafting a statement when I 
had no idea what the constituency was thinking. Further problem is 
that the timeline for the task force is extremely tight so there has 
not been time to put a draft statement up for comment (again, read 
the minutes or talk to your constituency rep --you're not a member of 
this constituency, are you?-- and you'll see what I mean. I don't see 
how any constituency could draft a statement that was based on 
opinion expressed by the constituency and also have time to put that 
statement to them for comment... by today.)

I've written a comment for the task force. It presents some issue I 
think there has been some support for. You'll see this mail soon. I 
hope it will generate more comment from NCC members, and I then might 
then get an idea of what the membership wants. If what I've sent to 
the task force is wrong, I'm sure I'll be told.

Danny, you're not a member of the constituency. I usually read your 
messages to this list and the GA, and often find them helpful. But I 
really do want hear back from our members and think your further 
comments (and those of other non-members) could be a distraction 
(have enough trouble getting comments as things are.) Would you mind 
switching to read-only for a week or so.

Thanks,

Adam
