[NCUC-DISCUSS] Fellows Announced for Singapore Meeting

[William Drake]

Hi

It will be great to have you folks there.  In recent meeting a number of fellows have ended up coming to Constituency Day and joining NCUC, so this connection appears to be working.

Hopefully we can engage you in some of the discussions and collaborations that will need to happen prior?  For ex, both IG4D and IG4humanrights are key concerns for NCUC but the folks who previously had been initiating in these areas have less bandwidth available now, so these and other topics need new champions to carry forward with respect to outreach, position texts, etc….

Best,

Bill
