Dilemma of ANA and others

After going through several webpages on American Nepal Societies / Communities and Associations, I realized that my expectations from ANA was wrong indeed. I should not have expected them to act like an parent umbrella organization of Nepali organizations in USA. Let the ANA remain as it is at present as a community of Nepalis who know personally each other, so that they can remain peaceful. Only, my surprise is that the ANA does not have a single newsletter nor it has list of its executive members in its website, I wish they have it soon for their own members sake. I am saying parai bata Sayonara to ANA. Now, in this course of doing research on Nepali organizations, I feel little more comfortable with ANMA and NepalCouncil.org They look more matured and well established and in good relation with other Nepali communities. In this course of my own research on understanding the Nepali communities, I found NRN.org.np, giving some other clues on who is going to lead Nepalis in America as a parent umbrella. I found NRN Association has two committees NCC and ICC. ICC is supposed to represent Nepali communities from different countries including USA. Now, I had difficulty in snapping the names of individuals who represent Nepalis (Nepali communities) in USA based on NRN.org.np. Is there anyone who knows the individuals who are in ICC / NCC of NRNA representing Nepali (communities) in USA? It looks the NRNA-ICC (USA) can act as an important group of peoples who can lead to integrate Nepalis and Nepali communities in USA? How were these individuals nominated in the ICC? Or, such ICC as mentioned in nrn.org.np does not exist in realty? GP
