[NCUC-DISCUSS] NomCom

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Dear Wolfgang,

Thank you very much for your hard work at the NomCom and also for the
timely reports. I am glad to see such good names on the nomcom final
selection list and that you managed to complete the work past this year's
adversities.

Best Regards,
Bruna Santos
