[PC-NCSG] NCPH Election to the Board.

[Amr Elsadr]

Hmm. I don?t really know Markus so well, so will have to defer to the judgment of those who do.

I wasn?t aware that we rejected Dan. That?s probably my fault. I know I?ve been busy the past couple of months, but plan on getting back on top of my duties over the next couple of weeks.

Anyway?, I?m glad we didn?t go for Dan. I was disappointed with his approach to the Spec 13 issue, and don?t believe he would have made a good rep on the BoD.

Thanks.

Amr
