<DIV>Thanks to Liz and Chuck for their clarifications and suggestions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I agree that the DT should be reasonably small, and would in this case personally prefer not to set numbers for each SG/SO/AC, or worry about matching/equivalence. In other situations and over other issues, equal representation of each group may be a fundamental concern, but in this case I believe NCSG is recommending Avri and Milton not because we believe we (or everyone) needs at least two (or however many) representatives. Rather, and for the reasons that Bill has stated, Avri and Milton will best represent NCSG in terms of what is likely to be a difficult preliminary issue (i.e. scoping out the WG). </DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Chuck,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Two. There are some fundamental issues in the air about the proper scope and terms of reference for the WG that need to be sorted out by the DT. Even if NCSG were to resolve its internal differences on these points, there would probably still be differences between the houses once the discussion gets to specifics. We're dealing with a rather variable geometry of perspectives, and as I say both people mentioned will add to working these things through.</DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Hi
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>And from NCSG, Avri Doria and Milton Mueller. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>One participant from each SG would not work for NCSG, as we have a couple of contending perspectives in play, with multiple members aligned with each. Avri and Milton have been very active and thoughtful proponents of those respective perspectives, both of which overlap/synergize in some ways with the positions advanced by other SGs. Should be an interesting discussion...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Best,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Bill</DIV>
