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.

Bill,

How many do you think the NCSG needs for the charter drafting team, not for the WG.

Hi

And from NCSG, Avri Doria and Milton Mueller.

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...

Best,

Bill
