[NCUC-DISCUSS] [Important] NCUC Bylaws Final Version

[avri doria]

Hi,

I think one of the things that contributes to the habit of continuous
campaigning is that one can change their vote right up until the last
minute by voting again.  I think this is a good thing and do not mind
the continuous campaigning.  It is the only time some of our members
become visible.
