[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC Election 2013

[Carlos Affonso Pereira de Souza]

This is really a pity, Tapani, but we all know how burdensome it can be to
handle multiple tasks. We can only hope that you continue to be involved
with NCUC activities as your contribution has been invaluable not only to
the EC but to the whole constituency.

Best,
Carlos
