[NCSG-PC] [Draft] Proposed NCSG Comment on the FY19 Budget

[Ayden Férdeline]

Thanks for these constructive edits, Milton. I'll accept the suggested edits on the Google Doc momentarily, and I'll remove the paragraph about the Intersessional. It might be better to be silent here, as I don't think this year's Intersessional was the most productive one yet...

So before I share this comment on the main discussion list and face the inevitable wrath of criticism and dislike, I thought I might share it here to get some initial feedback. I have also cc'd in a few other people who might not be on this mailing list but who I think might be able to offer some constructive edits on its contents:
