[NCUC-EC] Formulation and Invitation to join the Task Force on NCUC Procedural Rules

[Tatiana Tropina]

Hi Farzaneh,
thanks. I agree with opening this meeting for the NCUC membership *only*,
even we have to list it as a closed meeting to achieve this. I rather find
it awkward that other constituencies or non-members will have a say in
drafting our procedural rules. Drafting procedural rules is not an easy
task, so increasing entropy and distraction won't get us focused. Am sorry,
but the suggestion to open such a meeting for everyone gets transparency
and openness to the level of absurd. We need the procedural rules to
operate effectively, not to please any other constituencies, and it's our
members who have to work on this and have a say on this.
Warm regards
Tatiana
