<p>Consensus. I got similar concerns in several occasions from people i had encouraged to join...</p>
<p>unfortunately the website does not provide any info on the time frame of the application, which is also confusing to people. My two cents.. s.<br>

<div>Hi
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does this make sense to people? We just trust our reps on the NCSG EC and take the whole NCUC EC pro forma approval step out of the process? </div>

</div>
<br>
<div>Again, the process that emerged out of the restructuring is this: When the NCSG EC meets and approves a group of new members, the NCSG chair (Rafik) sends the NCUC chair (me) a list indicating which ones also asked to be NCUC members, which I then send
to the NCUC EC for approval and the NCUC e-team to add to the NCUC data base and mail list. Normally once the info comes to NCUC, everything at our end gets done in about a week, unless the timing’s bad and people are off line and slow to respond to email
etc. The only times I recall that there have been month delays have been when a new member did not tick that they wanted to be NCUC as well and hence did not get on the list Rafik sends, or ticked NPOC by accident (some individuals have done this, and individuals
can’t join NPOC). We just dealt with one of these today. In such cases, the NCUC EC doesn’t know there’s a problem until the member says hey how come I’m not on the mail list, which we wouldn’t know since we didn’t know they wanted to be a member in the
first place.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All this could be done better, and with Maryam now in place to support us perhaps we can simplify. Insofar as I’ve never seen the NCUC EC say no to an application that was approved by the NCSG EC, maybe we could simply drop the whole second review process,
trust that the two NCUC representatives on the NCSG EC have properly vetted for both levels, and new members they approve can be automatically added to NCUC’s data base and mail lists by Maryam as soon as Rafik notifies. That’d take a week of delay and extra
cycles for multiple volunteers out of the process without negative consequences, methinks.</div>
