[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC Delegate to the Nominating Committee - Call for Applications

[Johan Helsingius]

Shouldn't we wait until the current NomCom round is done? In this
particular case I don't think it is an issue, but I can see how
in other circumstances people who are candidates in the current
NomCom round might be reluctant to run against the people potentially
electing them to a position...
