Thanks Brenden, my pleasure. I believe we have to take advantage
of all these social nets and sites to increase our virtual presence
and exposure.

It would be nice if somebody else, just in case a piano lands on
my head, to join me as admin of the group at LinkedIn, it does
not take much effort, I just only verify that the person requesting
to join the group is not a mega-contact collector or a head hunter
looking for leads. Sometimes, not always, I check if that person
is already listed on the NCUC site.

If anyone wants to volunteer and is already member of the
group at LinkedIn just send me a message, one or two more
would be enough.

Will do, I'll check what can be done at LinkedIn and add the
pointers and additional info there.

Good point, yes I agree that we have to maintain our "official" site in
one place, the one we have now works and looks very nice, I'll include
some language encouraging people to join the site.

A bit of humor,

I've been thinking about a secondary acronym for us:

            ICANN TMIC = The Most Ignored Constituency
