[NCUC-EC] Implementation of new bylaws - Vice-chair election and Policy Committee NCUC

Mon Jun 18 14:04:59 CEST 2018

Thank you Bruna and Ines for stating your intentions regarding the
Vice-Chair role.

Please the rest of the EC state your intentions too.

This is something we have to decide rather quickly, for a number of
reasons, it would be good to have a replacement for the Chair role.

Best,

Renata
