that is not our will, we need to correct the singular article “a”, perhaps along the lines of “at least one.” I think this makes more sense anyway, since why should we limit ourselves this early in the discussions when others in the community are certainly
going to advocate for more seats for them while the Council, in the current draft, is advocating for simply reshuffling what we already have.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

While we discussed this in DC (albeit briefly), we didn’t sense the need for any specific response from the Council other than to maybe say that we would welcome the opportunity of a seat at the table for an NPOC representative (the only SG/C not currently
represented).</span></a><span class="m_7873921439889462929MsoHyperlink"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none" lang="EN-GB"><u></u><u></u></span></span></p>
