Dear Friends Greetings. It is great to see that people are coming forward and make themselves available for the various positions. I think that all candidates should communicate with the membership as much as possible, and I therefore propose that we will invite all NPOC members to a "Ask you candidates" session for Thursday the 2nd of June 16.00 UTC. All candidates of all positions should attend and make themselves available for questions. Could you please let us know if you have any objections to the idea in general. Candidates, please let us know if you are willing and able to attend. Please also let us know if you have a big problem with the date and time. Members, please submit to NPOC discuss any question that you want to ask the candidates. If there is general agreement we will ask Maryam to set up the call. Please let us know by close of business 20.00 pm UTC tomorrow 24th of May. Yours Klaus
