[NCSG-EC] Fwd: NCSG membership applications

[David Morar]

I am torn on this. I think having the system is useful, but if it's crummy,
maybe we're better off without it?
I am the least technical person in our group, I think, so it's entirely up
to you all.

Thank you very much,
Have a great week,
David
