Results of the Chartering process

Tue Jun 28 09:18:25 CEST 2011

Rosemary:
Can you explain to me how you handle the CSG/NCSG problem? If the answer is "CC is only applying to NCSG" I will not consider it an acceptable answer and will oppose the formation of this constituency. 

I will say that in our discussions with ALAC most of the people we talked to agreed that it made more sense to advance a consumer agenda than it did to form a consumer constituency.
