[Ec-ncuc] Publicizing NCUC policy work

[Edward Morris]

Hi Brenden,

I find myself in general agreement with what you are proposing. Would you
mind putting your proposal on the e-platform list (traveling with an ipad
it's a bit difficult for me  to multitask) and get some input from those
not on the current EC list? Our web design and av people might want to
weigh in. I'm a bit concerned about locking us in to the design limitations
of Word Press but there are those better placed than I to know whether that
is a valid concern.

I'm in agreement with the $400 expenditure. This isn't an issue we want to
continuously revisit and let's hope for growth justifying the slightly
larger expenditure.


Ed
