Nomination period extended to Sunday (today) 23.59 PST

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Just to make it clear to everyone:

*NCUC elections timeline has NOT been altered*. NCUC EC is discussing this
unfortunate incident and, despite this being announced on the list by
Raoul, I cannot accept this suggestion until the EC has deliberated it
properly.

Best,
Bruna Santos
NCUC Chair
