Status of the charter vote

[MEDA Shefqet]

Dear Dan,

I read your notice carefully even though I have been updated with all
developments regarding the NCUC / NCSG.
I must say that you discuss an issue that is closely linked with the act of
establishing, that means NCUC/NCSG will be all-embracing or not. Regarding
to this, I have followed all the comments and no one was in your context.

I want to remember you that:
-*Noncommercial Users-The Constituency (NCUC) is home for the Civil Society
Organizations and individuals.*
In this context, each of the members is best informed in its field. NCUC /
NCSG have not yet initiate to seek contributions in the areas highlighted
individuality of members. I had a chance to know some of the members and
their contributions in these areas are to be admired.

Responsibility to vote is an individual decision and each is responsible for
its decisions.


However, if you have the option to specify the criteria to enable an
assessment to be served on the selection of membership, I will be agreeing.

Let the time evaluate our opinions
