<br>
I nominate Rafik Dammak for a second term as NCSG chair.<br>
<br>
He has started a lot of projects to help us become more
organized in our<br>
work, and I would like to see him take those projects
further. I think<br>
we have already become a bit more operationally functional
during his<br>
first year, and I think can become more so during a second
year.<br>
