[NCUC-DISCUSS] Draft Durban Constituency Day Agenda

[William Drake]

Hi

Below is a draft of our meeting for the morning of Tuesday 16 April, comments welcome.  As always, the meeting will have the usual ample possibilities for remote participation, including via Adobe Connect, and members who can't be in Durban would be very much welcome to participate and add their thoughts to the conversations.

Thanks

Bill
