Dear NCSG members,
The attached letter was sent to the Board today in response to the letter sent by Debra Hughes and Amber Sterling (a.k.a. the 'NPOC Leadership') asking the board to overturn our election. I think it explains the situation adequately, and I personally do not see any realistic possibility that the Board would do that. As the person who got stuck with the responsibility for writing it, I welcome member feedback on its content.
