Ok, thanks. I think we were talking past one another. I was referring to
the list of NCUC Members, you are referring to the Membership application
on the NCUC website. Correct?

If the process described above is accurate, we'll need to revise the
process of joining the NCUC website entirely. It requires 1) deleting the
NCUC website application questions (we'll lose any data stored with those
questions) and 2) establishing a process for someone to verify new NCSG
Members who opted in to NCUC Const. and wants a presence on the NCUC
website.

In retrospect, especially given the NCUC websites limited use, we may want
to consider mothballing the current site and setting up something simpler.

I updated the Charter page to reflect this.
