[Ec-ncuc] Fwd: NCUC rough v3 JAN 16

[Edward Morris]

Hi Brenden,

This is a very, very pleasant surprise for me. I love the concept and want
to thank yourself, Robin and Milton for thinking of and doing this. This
should help with fundraising, outreach and, frankly, internal self image.
For what I'm hoping to do it very definitely is a late Christmas present.

Under Maria's capable hands I'm sure the Finance Committee will eventually
figure out bid processes for expenditures of this sort. For now I accept
your assurance as far as cost and I'm fine with it.

Talking heads tend to be boring, and although boring is not a capital
offence for this type of production,  to the extent the professionals you
have hired can jizz things up a bit (short cuts, flying globes, quickie
organizational charts) great. They know this stuff far better than I do. A
contact slide at the end with our e-mail address (do we have one?) might be
nice as well.

Thanks again. You told me yesterday we might be able to do a few bells and
whistles on our website...you are certainly a man of your word!
