Thank you Bill.

I hope a discussion arises, but I need to clarify Jorge: NCUC is not a
Kitchen, I've been in both :) so there is never the issue of too many chefs
:)

Bringing new voices to hear, at the most, poses additional coordination
load on the Chair.

And, I'll add another argument: having a double representation would have
solved Tapani's problem, because the work would have been shared, in
particular if the work is done in a voluntary basis.

In fact, the only disadvantage I see is added coordination effort. Maybe
there are more.

On the positive aspects: better representation of real communities, shared
work load (and increased work capacity), new people involved.

@Bill, as Chair, can you please foster this proposal and take it to a
conclusion?

Warm regards,

Nuno
