The organisation you’re asking about appears to be Netherlands Leprosy Relief (NLR), which is not fully “disbanded” but has changed its structure and is now operating as an alliance of locally‐registered NGOs. ILEP Federation<ref>{{cite web|title=ILEP Federation|url=https://ilepfederation.org/together-they-are-nlr-until-no-leprosy-remains/|publisher=ILEP Federation|access-date=2025-11-12}}</ref>

===== What happened & who is now doing the job =====
* NLR started transforming itself around 2018 from a Netherlands‐based international NGO to an “Alliance of locally embedded NGOs” — the organisation itself states: “in 2018 NLR … started transforming into an alliance … to improve the sustainability and local rootedness of our work.” ILEP Federation<ref>{{cite web|title=ILEP Federation|url=https://ilepfederation.org/together-they-are-nlr-until-no-leprosy-remains/|publisher=ILEP Federation|access-date=2025-11-12}}</ref>
* The organisation never “ceased work” but shifted its model: instead of operating from a central international office implementing directly in many countries, NLR now supports national/regional NGOs that are locally registered, while retaining the mission under the brand “NLR | until No Leprosy Remains”. Leprastichting<ref>{{cite web|title=Leprastichting|url=https://www.leprastichting.nl/app/uploads/2020/10/NLR-Annual-Report-30-09.pdf|publisher=leprastichting.nl|access-date=2025-11-12}}</ref>
* Example: In Nigeria, the former NLR country‐office became **Leprosy and Tuberculosis Relief Initiative Nigeria (LTR Nigeria); in 2018 the local NGO registered to take over the programmes previously led by NLR in Nigeria. LTR Nigeria<ref>{{cite web|title=LTR Nigeria|url=https://ltrnigeria.org/|publisher=LTR Nigeria|access-date=2025-11-12}}</ref>
* Thus, the “job” once done by NLR in that country is now done by the local NGO (LTR Nigeria) in partnership and transition with the NLR Alliance.

===== Summary =====

So, in short:
* NLR didn’t disappear — it reorganised.
* Its tasks (leprosy control, prevention, research, advocacy in multiple countries) are now increasingly delivered through a network/alliance of locally‐governed NGOs under the NLR brand/mission.
* In specific countries, those local NGOs have full operational control (e.g., LTR in Nigeria).
* The overarching coordination, research, brand mission etc remains under the “NLR Alliance”.

If you tell me which country or region you meant when you asked “who is doing the job of NLR”, I can check that country’s current responsible organisation and share details.

I'm sorry. I meant NLRB

=== Assistant: The National Labor Relations Board NLRB has not been disbanded — it still exists and continues to operate. ===
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has not been disbanded — it still exists and continues to operate. Wikipedia<ref>{{cite web|title=Wikipedia|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Labor_Relations_Board|publisher=en.wikipedia.org|access-date=2025-11-12}}</ref>

Here’s a breakdown of what’s happening and how its functions are currently being handled:

===== ✅ What the NLRB does =====
* The NLRB is an independent federal agency responsible for enforcing the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). It handles union‐representation elections and investigates unfair labor practices. Wikipedia<ref>{{cite web|title=Wikipedia|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Labor_Relations_Board|publisher=en.wikipedia.org|access-date=2025-11-12}}</ref>
* It has two main components: - The Board (decides cases) - The General Counsel (investigates and prosecutes unfair labor practices) Wikipedia<ref>{{cite web|title=Wikipedia|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Labor_Relations_Board|publisher=en.wikipedia.org|access-date=2025-11-12}}</ref>

===== ⚠️ Recent issues =====
* In early 2025, a key Board member (Gwynne Wilcox) was removed by the President, which left the Board with only two members — below the three required for a quorum. That meant the NLRB couldn’t issue new Board decisions until the quorum was restored. Management Memo<ref>{{cite web|title=Management Memo|url=https://www.managementmemo.com/presidents-termination-of-nlrb-general-counsel-and-member-what-does-this-mean|publisher=Management Memo|access-date=2025-11-12}}</ref>
* In response, the NLRB’s Office of the General Counsel indicated that its field offices would continue to process representation and unfair‐labor‐practice cases, even though the Board itself could not make new precedents while lacking a quorum.

===== 🔍 Who is doing the NLRB’s job now =====

Since the NLRB is still active, the functions are being handled as follows:
* The General Counsel’s Office continues investigating and litigating unfair labor practices.
* The Regional/field offices continue processing union elections, etc.
* The full Board (three or more members) is required to issue decisions and set precedent; until the Board has a quorum, its decision‐making is effectively paused.
* Once new Board Members are nominated and confirmed by the Senate, the Board can resume full operations. CDF Labor Law<ref>{{cite web|title=CDF Labor Law|url=https://www.callaborlaw.com/entry/as-of-this-morning-wilcox-is-back-and-the-nlrb-has-a-quorum-again-at-least-for-now|publisher=CDF Labor Law|access-date=2025-11-12}}</ref>

If you like, I can check the current membership of the Board and any pending nominations to see how soon the NLRB is expected to be fully operational again.
