Draft Discussion Agenda for 11 August (Tuesday) NCUC Constituency Meeting

[William Drake]

It is indeed pretty heavy, which is why I suggested doing the  
constituency stuff first.  Even so, if we are serious about filing  
something with the ombudsman etc, probably there won't be much time  
left to discuss the substantive policy issues.  My suggestion would be  
to triage and put just the most immediately pressing bits---IRT and  
registrants rights----at the front of the line, anything else we do if  
there's time.  FWIW I may have to leave early.
