[governance] Call for Action: Your comments can Support

[Robin Gross]

I agree with Milton and Bill and see no reason why McTim would not  
qualify as an individual member based on those affiliations (except  
of course if he works for a RIR).

I'll forward the the application to the NCUC Executive Committee, so  
it should be approved within a few days.

Thanks, McTim, for submitting the membership application!

NCUC is not a life-time commitment, and we will happily accept  
whatever amount of energy you've got to spare, even small amounts are  
very welcome.

There is also a web-form membership application so people can fill- 
out the membership application and apply via the web:
     https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform? 
hl=en&formkey=cElmeG5pOWZ6dmxoVVAwMEItTjZ2TWc6MA

Thanks again!
Robin
