[Ec-ncuc] new EC and tasks for new year

[Konstantinos Komaitis]

Dear all,

I am using the EC list (since it is archived) and I have cc'd Nuno and Carlos (the newest members) since I don't know if Brenden had the time to add the new officers to the list. In any case, I was thinking that before we break for Christmas, we start thinking about the pressing tasks we have before us.

The first one and the most important is the NCUC Charter, which has to be amended to comply with the NCSG charter. I have started working on it, but it is seriously incomplete. I think the first thing we need to consider is process and the way I see it there are only two options: either the EC works on it or we form a small group of NCUC members to work on it. I am fine either way - the only thing I would like to stress is that if we opt for option no. 2, we need to make sure that the group does not get too big and bureaucratic (not sure how we do this though - perhaps we say a group of 5 and it will be on a first come, first served basis?). I am want your views on this and how we should proceed. In any case, the charter will be put up for a vote before the whole membership.

The second issues is the Ning website - we need to update it and make it somehow more interactive. Brenden is the guru of the website and I will be liaising with him in order to make some necessary amendments (e.g. the membership section now needs to link to the NCSG membership). Ideas are welcomed and what other changes - if any - you think are necessary.

I would also like to ask that Milton remains the Treasurer for NCUC - he has been doing this for a long time now and many administrative issues (e.g. cheque book) are under his name. if Milton doesn't object, it would only make sense for him to continue to perform this function. According to the existing charter, the EC makes the appointment for the Treasurer - (. Be elected on an annual basis by Constituency members in an online vote (with the exception of the Secretary-Treasurer, who is appointed by the EC).

Membership - we need to bring in more organizations and individuals. this is very difficult but we need to identify orgs and individuals and try to bring them in. any ideas as to how to do this?

I am sure I am forgetting something, so please jump in to remind me. I would like this year this list to be more active and hold discussions on the various constituency issues. and, we have a tough year ahead of us.

Many thanks and all the best for the festive season. Have a great new year. (I am back home as of tomorrow and I will try my interaction with the email to be as minimal as possible :)

Thanks to you all.

KK
