[NCUC-EC] Not attending the intersessional

[David Cake]

I'm also appalled by these developments, an administration that shows every sign of being both evil and incompetent in almost every decision. 

I'm also quite happy to chair any meetings if it's helpful, and/or take on any responsibilities for liasing with ICANN staff (as I already know most of the GNSO staff pretty well through council).
