It would make sense to "consult" with NCSG as a whole. However, we don't want to remove the pressure on ICANN to provide another NCSG representative on the Nomcom. Therefore, the NCUC selectee should NOT become the de facto NCUC and NPOC selectee, we should encourage NPOC to join us in a loud chorus demanding 2 reps for NCSG.
