>>> Dear PC members,
>>>
>>> In case you missed the below in ncsg-discuss, I called out for
>>> volunteers for GAC liaison position. I was in a bit of a rush and
>>> didn't think it through, but of course endorsement on behalf of NCSG
>>> would belong to the PC rather than EC, so I'll let Rafik take over
>>> here (still up to Farzaneh to decide if NCUC wants to endorse someone
>>> on their own - as far as I can tell constituencies can endorse
>>> candidates here as well as SGs).
>>>
>>> So far I've received one definite expression of interest, namely from
>>> Julf Helsingius. I'll let you know immediately if I get more.
>>>
>>> Regards,
>>>
>>> Tapani
