Before another poll is called (if it hasn't, already), could I have the
status and role of the constituencies clarified, please?

I understand, from what has been said, that the existence of the
constituencies is a necessary evil; that, without the constituencies, no
advocacy to the Names Council would exist; that the Names Council
members are appointed, without the constituencies, and, that removing
the constituencies, would ensure that an appointed board would be what
constituted the Names Council, with no-one being represented, other than
the body that appointed the NC board.

So, can I please have this all clarified, by someone on this list, who
knows; the current structure, and, the effect of exterminating the
constituencies?

I assume that the one named YJ (?), would be the one best qualified to
answer this.

Thanks in anticipation.
