GNSO has a constituency representation system that's unique now and  
will remain so after restructuring.  In the GNSO context it's pretty  
clear if you are a "member" elsewhere who's "represented."  The other  
ASOs are different.  You're not on the Address Council and I assume  
you're not on the ccNSO.  Being on open to all mailing lists that  
provide input to these would not constitute being a represented  
member, at least my understanding.  Maybe someone else from NCUC has a  
different and more restrictive view, in which case you'd be right that  
the language on this point could use further clarification.
