Primarily these changes will be designed to harmonize some aspects of the NCUC Charter with the NCSG Charter. But this may be a good time to reconsider any other changes to the charter. <div><br></div><div>I'd also like to bring to the attention of the membership that several of the NCUC Regional Representatives on the NCUC Exec, including myself as Asia/Pacific/Australia rep, are term limited and will not be recontesting this election. The same applies to Africa and North America. If you are interested, please speak up! </div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div>David<br><div><br><div><div>On 07/10/2012, at 1:14 AM, Brenden Kuerbis wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Dear Noncommercial Users Constituency (NCUC) members,</span><br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
