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

Mon Jun 18 14:41:01 CEST 2018

Hi

Thanks Elsa
That makes 2 EC voters
1 EC candidate
And 2 EC without intentions declared

Please Michael and Louise send in your intentions soon so we can move on
this process

I find it always better an election w/ at least 2 candidates

And even if the 2nd candidate doesn't take this position now, may do so on
the future if the Chair resigns.

Best,

Renata
