[NCUC-DISCUSS] Subject: Extension of Public Comment Period – NCUC Operating Procedures Review, First Round of Public Comment

[Wisdom Donkor]

Dear NCUC Members,

We truly appreciate the feedback and engagement we have received so far on
the proposed revisions to our NCUC Operating Procedures.

Considering the tight schedules of many members and in line with a
suggestion from some members, we are extending the deadline for the first
round of public comments *by one week* to allow more members to participate.

The new deadline for submissions is:
*Monday, 18 August 2025, 23:59 UTC*

You may continue to share your feedback in either of the following ways:

   1.

   *Directly in the Google Document*:
   -

      Add comments to suggest edits or raise concerns.
