[NCUC-DISCUSS] NomCom public meeting, Wednesday

[farzaneh badii]

Thank you Bill for asking my question.

I think the person in charge argued that they in NomCom did not have many
visa issues ??? Well why would you have a Sub-Committee on visa then ! It
is beyond me.

I don't care if this was a subcommittee only on nomcom visa issues and they
 didnt have to ask the community. I wanted to see how they functioned and
what was the result because it is an issue that affects us all.

What I was trying to get at is: Tackling visa issues should be a joint
effort . If not, we cannot tackle it. If they had a sub-committee on visa
issues and then the result was : oh visa is beyond our control! then it is
gonna affect others in the community who are working to resolve the issue!
It is very careless! I received an email from another community member
asking me : have you worked with these guys, what are their solutions ?
