I can amend the form tomorrow or Thursday for this purpose.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Second, please suggest some criteria for making our decision. We could, for example, encourage newcomers who may have been following discussions but not active yet. This could spur a higher level of engagement. And in that vein, we can assign one of the two EC members officially attending to act as mentors.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Finally, how is this going to be settled? I do not think we should just be sending out checks to people. Maybe require submission of a hotel or airline receipt. We will need to make this clear in the announcement. Again, I can amend my CROP announcement to include whatever criteria we decide. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> NCUC-EC <ncuc-ec-bounces@lists.ncuc.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Olga Kyryliuk<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, May 16, 2023 12:49 PM<br><b>To:</b> Benjamin Akinmoyeje <benakin@gmail.com><br><b>Cc:</b> Exec.
