[Membership-affairs] [NCUC-DISCUSS] Update On Community Outreach Resources (CROPP) For FY16- Traditions and Changes

[Stephanie Perrin]

I would be happy to help, and I vote for Friday because we are more 
likely to get data commissioners and their staff their on a Friday. I 
had proposed to the IWGDPT that Dublin would be a good time for some of 
them to show up....the next meeting of the Berlin group is in Berlin on 
the 13th, so there may be folks who could make it on Friday, fresh from 
the meeting.
Kind regards Steph
