<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks Iris, the draft NSAC website looks great.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My only comment is related to section “Basic fairness”. Suggest expanding this to include the fact that many of NSAC members also do research. The role of NSAC researchers are really critical in meeting the UCM’s goal to achieve R1 status.

<p class="MsoNormal">I have started some serious work on the NSAC website, which should be up and running next week. Attached here is what I am working with. I wanted to share it with y'all just in case there are any questions or comments, and as a way to let
you in on what is currently taking place. I will send an email next week to outline our goals for the semester and academic year. Included will be a call for more membership If you know of anyone who would like to join us, please let me know. Also, at that
time, I will send out a doodle poll to see when will be the best time for us to meet. Lastly, I will include our final report from 2019-20 so that we can all keep track of our progress!<o:p></o:p></p>
