that this proliferation of policy committees (now we have 3)

not sure we have enough forward motion at the NCSG level, and
cross communication is not great Lets try to ensure that all

The EC has concluded the deliberation for PC NCSG NCUC representative.
The term is until after the election of the new EC (after October) as
this representative will be a replacement.
The selected was Claudio Lucena. Votes received from AP, EU and LAC EC.
We would like to thank all candidates who participated on the process
and remind you that there are many different ways of participating
with NCUC.
Per implementation of our bylaws, we will soon build the Policy
Committee NCUC and we hope you keep interested as this group has to
have 10 participants.
Thank you
Renata
