Re: [npoc-voice] RE: Nomination of Poncelet for NPOC Chair

[Cintra Sooknanan <cintra.sooknanan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear colleagues,

Over the past few weeks I have held the position of NPOC Chair (quite
unexpectedly in place of Alain). It is a position that I have alot of
respect and take the responsibilities associated very seriously. In the
event you have found me to be remiss or tardy on any specific duties I
apologise, I have done the best to my duty and ability given the time
constraints and current circumstances. I want to let you know that I wish
to continue supporting the role of Chair as previously held and as
nominated in the capacity of Vice Chair. I believe at this time such
decision is appropriate, since my personal participation in NPOC is not
based on ego but rather on building a strong and effective team.

That being said during my time at NPOC and working with the executive, I
find Poncelet to have the capacity and capabilities of a very good NPOC
team leader:
- being very open to suggestion and feedback (even where this is contrary
to his personal views),
- having a real passion and contact with not for profit interest and needs,
- consistent and clear management style, language and work ethic,
- steadfast in heading our NPOC agenda in particular as related to African
needs and interests,
- actively participating in very key ICANN working groups, Diplo foundation
and IGF in his region,
- respectful, non-discriminatory and keen to support the best interests of
the team (not personal or individual benefit).

Also, I believe that our Chair must be able to deliver our NPOC Outreach
Plan 2013 (a huge component of which is our African Strategy), as well as
engage and support Not for Profits where they require it the most. I
believe Poncelet's placement regionally and as the representative of YMCA
(being a network of NGOs on its own) in the Gambia to be superior in this
role.

For all of the above reasons I commit my support to Poncelet's nomination
and put to you that given what NPOC wishes to accomplish that he is the
best candidate for the role of NPOC Chair.

Thank you for your attention and kind consideration.

Regards

Cintra Sooknanan
