Re: [council] Re: NC's UDRP WG



happy new year raul...

i see no problem with alternates,  but it is each constituency's
responsibility to keep abreast thru their representatives, of names council
actions and various dnso activities.
it would be unfair to the other constituencies to have to "slow the pace" or
defer actions, so that someone who "couldn't make the meetings" or doesn't
have time to stay up-to-speed can get caught up.

so far there have been some members who have not been able to attend many
of the teleconferences and, frankly, if those parties don't have the time to
give to this effort, then they should step down be replaced by their
constituencies with others who have the capacity to participate. we all have
"other jobs" and responsibilities and we all have to make special efforts to
stay abreast & involved.

best wishes
