[NCUC-EC] Concerns Regarding NCUC Decision-Making and Session Legitimacy

[Amin Hacha]

Dear Iness, Thank you for your approach.
In a previous email, I proposed organizing this session titled "Civil
Society Organizations Roundtable: A Joint Outreach by NCUC." Also, I
suggested extending invitations to both NGSC and NPOC to collaborate with
us. We can also reach APRALO, EURALO, UA and local.
I believe it would be beneficial to focus on a more inclusive approach,
where we share and listen to everyone's input, rather than limiting the
session to speakers discussing specific topics.
your thoughts?
