Hmmm, I do not think i said specifically that.

What I thought I said is that civil society is brader than IGC/BB, 
Diplo, APC and NCSG.  That we are the early participants.

My point was that if no group with 'standing' submits a counter list of 
names for CS, then it is is safe to assume that CS* is being represented 
by those involved in Ian's group at this point in time.  And I was not 
thinking of this as a rule just for CS but for any stakeholder group.

But if there are reputable, for some definition of reputable, groups who 
do have a different view of appropriate candidates, then yes, the /1net 
steering group, taking into account any comments from the /1net list, 
should make the determination of which candidates should be included in 
whatever committee they are trying to fill.

In other words, I find myself in disagreement with the view Ian 
expressed and will joining in the counter protest.
