No, I think it's been very real, indeed NCUC-NPOC relations have been
steadily improving over the past three or four years. But I remember
only too well when they were much worse, and I'm worried that things
could go to the wrong direction again. And a liaison, whether such
overlapping EC membership as Dave is now attempting or not, could
help, acting like the hotline during Cold War to alert early and help
resolve potential problems before they become too difficult.
