It was originally supposed to be conversation between chair, but each of the CSG constituencies and NPOC too have all been bringing “seconds” to the calls, which has meant that Rafik and I basically have to carry the weight of arguing against a lopsidedly large CSG contingent when needed (NPOC people often back business ideas, as happened the other day). So it would be nice to bring along another NCUC person going forward for some back-up. Anyone here interested in playing?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Bill<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><b class="">NCPH Intersessional meeting in DC 12-13 January 2015</b><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">From: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">William Drake <<a href="mailto:wjdrake@gmail.com" class="">wjdrake@gmail.com</a>><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">Date: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">November 14, 2014 at 11:43:03 AM GMT+1<br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">Cc: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">"Exec.

So far we have one nomination for 5 of the 6 slots (still nobody from LAC, and just until Sunday to get one, plus any competitors for the other seats). By next Monday 17th nominations are closed and we know who the candidates are. Those who do not face any competition for the respective seat can be assumed to be on the 2015 EC unless a majority of members abstain, which would be odd. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">In which case I’d be able to forward their names to Constituency Travel, which is very desperate for us to submit names so they can start working on travel arraignments, especially since unlike the business groups a number of our people will be from countries that may require visas.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">What I need to know ASAP (Please reply off list) is:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">1) Whether each of the candidates for the new EC would be interested in attending if elected.

Probably it would be preferable if a replacement person were from the same region as the non-participating EC member, but this is not mandatory.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">To get a sense of whether this meeting might be of interest and and something to which you can contribute, one might want to have a look at the documents at the web pages linked above.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Any questions, let me know.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Bill</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div style="margin-top: 0px;
