[NCSG-PC] [CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS] Public Comment: Proposed Bylaws Updates to Limit Access to Accountability Mechanisms

[Tomslin Samme-Nlar]

Hi NCSG,

15th April is not too far away and we still need volunteers for this. I am
sure NCSG has significant opinions about this proposed bylaws amendment
that it would like to provide to the Board.

Warmly,
Tomslin
