Done. Although I will work with the slide show a bit later today to
make it a bit more presentable, add a Policy Conference slide.

Fixed.

I don't think so, but send an email to NCUC to ask if anyone has them.
E.g., invite Article 19 to blog about it or submit text for a blog
post if they wish.

Removed.

I'll test and find out, will make changes accordingly or remove it.

That should just be visible to people who are logged in, i.e., just
Admins or others we have given permission to post, etc.

Removed.

Not sure. Deleted.

Agree. AFAICT, these pages are again only visible to Admins or others
logged into the site (which is basically no one).

See above. I've gone ahead and deleted empty pages.  I like your rule
of thumb above. No content-y, no page-y!

I'll fix this, and maybe take some other creative liberties with the
site... :-)
