[NCUC-EC] NCUC EC Call last Friday - Appointments

[Elsa S]

Hey Renata,

Thanks for the reply. Though I will be at Rightscon in my own capacity, I'd
like to note for the record, that I was and am happy to use the fact that
I'll be there to possibly highlight some specific issues on our NCUC
agenda. I am also happy to help you Michael, if you might need help during
the NCUC session there since I'll be around. Let me know if there is
anything else I need to keep an eye out for and I'll work my schedule
accordingly.

Best,

Elsa
