Hi,
The NCUC charter has been in need of review & revision since at least
2011 when the NCSG charter was approved. While I have not heard of a
propsal to rotate officers among the regions until now, it seems the
sort of thing the constituency might want to discuss when and if we
discuss a revised charter.
Perhaps the next NCUC chair and NCUC EC will take this up the charter as
a priority for the constituency.
