<div dir="ltr">Hi guys,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have one simple but (I hope) effective proposal.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Let us all (at least the ones who read these threads),
compromise in bringing in a new member every month, for the
next 6 months.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But we need:</div>
<div>a) to have a simplified (yet rigorous) admission process</div>
<div>b) to improve the quality of the language we use in these
discussions. Some emails are so cryptic that any newcomer
that read them feels a complete ignorant. Please let us
avoid using abbreviations and topics that go way back to
other threads and stuff like "John decided in the NCSO to
argue against GAC proposal". Seriously guys, give the
newcomers a break and let us use more friendly and inclusive
language. And keep subjects on its relevant topic</div>
<div>c) someone (not me) should prepare a standard welcome
email with relevant links</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So here are my two cents. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will start tomorrow to bring new interested members to
the Non-Commercial Users Constituency.</div>
<div><br>
</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> I agree that we need
to do that Nuno, and I would welcome all suggestions about
how to achieve that goal. It is hard because we are all
so busy in NCSG, what could be the best, most economical
(in terms of time and information overload) to do this? I
think we need a running roster of all the work activities
somewhere easy to access...I know that I lose track of the
three working groups I am on, and I certainly lost track
of the comment periods open<br>
<br>
Anyway, ideas most welcome! I think we are all committed
to getting folks more involved, and building a dynamic
constituency in these busy times.<span class="HOEnZb"><font
