[NCUC-DISCUSS] Raoul Plommer's Report from Hyderabad

[Kathy Kleiman]

Raoul, A belated thanks to you for sharing your report of the meeting in 
Hyderabad, and the events you attended.  Your work on behalf of more 
balance on the NomCom -- now and in the future -- will be important for 
our representation in the years to come. Good luck and please let us 
know what assistance you need.

Best, Kathy
