Hi,

I am confused as to how this works.  Please forgive my questions.  This has less to do with the proposal I made then with trying to understand the nature of a UA.  I had not realized until yesterday that the membership model was as popular as it has been defined to be.  I had also not realized that we were down to membership or designator model as our only choices until today.

What qualifies the Nomcom as an association?  It can't be the people, as there is no continuity, except among the staff. and  some overlap in chairs as last year's chair, this years' chair and next year's possible chair,  sit togehter each year. I guess that  is a bit of natural person continuity.  Is that chair thread significant?

Or is that it is always formed according to same bylaw, even if all of the people are different, that is a qualifying mark? Is being a differnt instantiation of the same process sufficient to define a UA, even if there is no continuity of natural persons?


thanks

Note: I would have sent this to the legal list, but i never managed to get subscribed that one as far as I can tell.
