[Ncuc-af] How to support you to participate?

[Liz Orembo]

I agree with you on the language barrier and the need to work on it.

I also suggest that we have calls focusing on topical issues of interest
with the NCSG, especially those that go at length about a PDP so that
members are up to date. We can ask for the presentation of those who are
active on those WG.This can take place monthly.
