Membership interview with the candidates - options

[MEDA Shefqet]

Hi Avri,
I think the best solution would be if the NCSG members (who want) will send
questions to your address, then you collect them and forward to candidates.
The responses of candidates also be sent to your email address. When you
will get all the answers in due course then be forwarded to all NCSG members
.
kind regards
