[council] NCAs in the new GNSO Council structure

[Alan Greenberg]

Yes, I understood that, but I added a caution about the long-term 
solution, as Avri seemed to indicate that their might be some 
reconsideration of that. But perhaps I read too much into it. But 
even if it were a long term requirement that the choice be made in 
the GNSO, nothing requires us to select the ongoing method now - we 
first need to address this year's issue. And assuming the NomCom does 
take on the responsibility next year, we will need to think about 
whether this year's allocation is locked in for the next year (where 
at least 2/3 NCAs will remain on the GNSO), or whether all three will 
be (re)assigned.
