Re: [council] NC telecon, Oct 27th, agenda

[Nigel Roberts <nigel@nic.gg>]

I agree.

I think this is very timely to discuss the whole idea
of how regional representation is ensured in the

inconsistencies.

However I think there will be many people not in on
this telecon so perhaps just an initial examination would be
in order with a view to producing a written paper.
