ICANN Must Account for its Math

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

Does the NCUC have an outreach committee or something like that.  Some  
group of talented volunteers who are good at spreading the message and  
bringing new people to the table?  Or has all that work been left to  
the chair?

Obviously amazing things have been done in bringing in new members,  
and if it was done by the chair and the EC in their copious free time  
it is even more amazing.  I do not mean to denigrate what has been  
done, it is amazing, I am just wondering.

thanks
a.
