Executive Committee has been on developing our electronic platform and trying to regularize certain basic organizational constructs that were missing when we assumed office. Getting these things done was essential before we could begin our Outreach efforts. There has been some success. We finally have an updated membership roster. We now have a procedure, albeit one still in development, to admit members to the N.C.U.C. New listservs have been developed and implemented; more are on the way. A prototype for a new web design was completed this weekend and awaits further action.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 17px; "><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; ">We’re not there yet, but slowly we have been creating a basic infrastructure upon which the Constituency can develop and grow.

I recognize that it is a holiday weekend in much, but not all, of the world and have done my best to provide as many scheduling options (35 possibilities) as possible. Note that time is initially set to GMT (London) but is adaptable online. Selecting “yes” indicates your clear availability, “(yes)” indicates you can make it if at that time if absolutely necessary and “no” lets me know you can not attend at that time.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 17px; "><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; ">We will be using either Skype or Google Hangout for the call. Please let me know if you have a preference for either option, or would like to suggest a third, by indicating same in the “Comments” section of the Doodle form. I’d ask that you complete the Doodle form no later than 23:59 GMT Wednesday 27 March. I will send everyone an e-mail with the selected time and date no later than Thursday morning.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 17px; "><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; ">Please allow an hour for the session, although I anticipate the actual call will take less time. I’ve noticed that our other Committee meetings have initially had some technical problems and I don’t want time pressure to force us to exclude anybody while we work things out.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 17px; "><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica; ">Thanks again for volunteering your time and effort.
