[NCUC-DISCUSS] NomCom changes

[Johan Helsingius]

I really hope our reps can provide us some understanding of the
rationale behind the recommendations.

Another thing they might be able to shed some light on is how in
the implementation work they often talk about NCSG instead of
NCUC - is the thinking that they see the NCUC rep as a more
general NCSG rep?
