<DIV></DIV>Hi,<BR>being an NCA, I would like to add my thoughts in relation to
our role in the new GNSO:<BR><BR>

<DIV>Could be a valid option, but one of the NCAs will be new in the council,
so he could hardly figure out which role to select.<BR><SPAN
class=068571714-11092009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>[Gomes,
Chuck] Regardless of how the Council ultimately decides to make this
decision, I think that the input from the NCAs would be useful in making
that decision. Also, I think it would be fine to at least invite Andrey
to participate in your discussion along with the three existing
NCAs. </FONT></SPAN><BR> <BR>

<DIV>This could be an option but perhaps it should add a possible refusal by
the NCA, in the case that he/she is not in favour of serving one of the houses
or becoming a homeless. What I want to say is that it sounds unfair just say
where NCAs go and not having any feedback about their expectations.<BR><SPAN

very much if an NCA was placed in a place where they didn't want to be or
thought they could not add much value. </FONT></SPAN><BR></DIV>

do not have that incentive and you may loose some momentum.<BR><BR>
