I would not be in favour of having the GA elect the entire Names
Council.  It means that if one constituency can gain a majority of the
GA they can make a clean sweep of the Names Council - winner takes
all.

However suggesting that the GA elect *some* of the Names Council has
considerable merit IMO.
