Dear all, I'm back on my desk again, after some time travelling.

I'm slowly picking up my emails.

Please see inline.

All the best,

In order to comply with the requests for transparency, I propose we use a
mixed solution, requesting two or three volunteers from the NCUC to work
with two or three volunteers from the EC. The volunteers would be selected
by the EC regarding their profile, or, as you propose, the first volunteers
would get the "job".

Konstantinos, AFAIS, the ning site points to this url: http://
http://ncdnhc.org/? At least, we need to update the page with the new
officers list at http://ncdnhc.org/page/elected-officers. We should promote
the site in the NCUC Facebook (and Google+) pages.

I agree and support the nomination.

We need to define a goal (number) for each region, and work towards that
goal. Do we have a budget for operations? (I don't expect we have).
