Reminder: NCUC Monthly Meeting: Tuesday 11 August 15:00-17:00 UTC

[Robin Gross]

Dear all,

In response to your suggestions about timing concerns and discussion  
priorities, we'll plan to spend a total of 5 minutes on the first 5  
items below so we can get right to the heart of the issue concerning  
us these days, which is the tragedy of the Noncommercial Stakeholder  
Group Charter and how to respond (#6 below).

Note: We need volunteers to take running notes of meeting discussion  
please.

Thank you.  I hope you will all join in the call and participate in  
the discussion.

Best,
Robin
