[NCUC-DISCUSS] NomCom public meeting, Wednesday

[William Drake]

Hi Farzi

I hadn’t seen your message until you mentioned it on the conference Skype.  As I said there, this actually is not an NomCom issue but I will ask the question of the chair for you so you’ll hear the reply in a moment.

Providing enough information for the participants, helping the less experienced participants with their visa issues etc. We have received  good suggestions from some people that had visa issues in our informal working party on visas.

It’d be great to have some NCUC participants, both F2F and remote, to raise any issues they may have in mind about how the NomCom process operates, the currently open positions (applications due 20 March) and qualifications/disqualifications for these, etc.  Below is a message the NC chair sent to the registries, as background.
