Dear NPOC and NCSG colleagues,<div><br></div><div>FYI and consideration. Very sorry if you get double posting from NCSG, but there is no NCUC list in operation now and NCUC's Chair emails NCSG to reach its NCUC members for now. We have requested two separate lists and we are working out a protocole that would eliminate cross-postings. Thanks for your patience.</div>
