Hi Ed,

Executive Committee meetings have always been officially closed, but
all interested NCSG members have been and will be welcome nonetheless.
I'm not sure it'd be a good idea to invite CSG and other outsiders
there as well, but I'm open to persuasion there.

To the extent it's up to me I'd apply same rule for the other two
meetings, but there we'll have to get other participants to agree.
I'll make an effort to make it happen.

For local participants space may also be a concern, some of these may
have been allocated small rooms.
