As I said yesterday, we really need to identify more names with email addresses we can distribute this to, right now we have about the same number as NCUC attendees and it’s a fair bet not all of those will come.

So hopefully we get these things sorted soon.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I am now bugging NCUC people to confirm what topics they can introduce.
