Hi,
Yeah we discussed it, but the discussion never settled on a decsion.
Plus last time, the discussion was for NCSG notices and discuss.
With the resurgence of constituencism in the SG, i.e. the victory of the CSG old model, something I for one was hoping would not happen, we now face the world of having -notice and -discuss for both NCUC and NCSG, which I would find unfortunate.
