[NCUC-DISCUSS] UPDATE about the North American EC Slot

Thu Jun 4 17:42:53 CEST 2020

Thanks for your email Dorothy.  Well said.

I think the EC is trying to address the issues as much as possible given
the elections, and other circumstances.  As I wrote before, we can disagree
but we also must respect other viewpoints as well.  Not every disagreement
is based on someone's race especially if the conversation does not include
it in any way.

I think both Stephanie and Bruna are trying to fairly address the election
issues, which there was some debate, but it is an open dialogue.  Kudos to
both.

Regards,
