<div></div>Hi Kristina,
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks for this information, which I've just passed on to NCUC.
However, I would strongly suggest that we extend the deadline to Monday
or Tuesday. Notification at 11pm on the 11th of a 13th noon deadline is
a very unworkable turnaround time if we are serious about getting strong
applicants and engagement from all constituencies, as the board intends.
Some people might not be reading mail today or be able to determine so
quickly whether the workload fits with their schedule etc.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Bill</div>
