<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve laid this out a number of times but can’t find the mail in my piles right now to just cut and paste. Anyway, there’s been an ongoing discussion (which is to say, me occasionally raising the issue on the lists and at CD meetings) about
rebooting the NCUC Policy Committee that’s in our bylaws. Per previous, Council-facing work is done via NCSG PC but we could really use a place within NCUC to coordinate position statements and activities that either a) would feed into positions taken in
the NCSG PC or b) be freestanding, e.g. replies to PCPs, any inputs into all the IG initiatives like the SP meeting, the CCWG, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I think we could be pretty flexible in interpreting who could be on this. The question is whether someone is willing to help make it exist and function. I’d asked Robin before if she’d be willing to chair, since she’d like to do more substantive
than admin work after two years running NCSG; would be good to hear from her. If not, Roy maybe you could fill this role?<o:p></o:p></p>
