Names for the Working Group on Internet Governance

Could we have some more transparency in this process. Think it's time
the Executive Committee list was opened up as a public read-only
archive. I would like to see the winnowing.

This sudden interest from the EC in WSIS after deciding (and not
informing the members) that the NCUC would not be taking part in the
ICANN "WSIS Workshop Planning Group" seems a bit of a change of
heart. And it's important that any future position statement from the
NCUC on this go through the processes we have in the charter (a
policy committee issue, not the administrative EC?)

Anyway.  Some transparency please.  Please open the EC archive, and
backdate a couple of weeks so we can understand how this came about.

Kind of related -- did Frannie take over the NA Executive Committee seat?

Thanks,

Adam
