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

[Lori Schulman <lori.schulman@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear Cintra,

Thank you.  My seconding of Poncelet was simply to encourage competition for 
the Chair spot as I believe that contested races highlight the vibrancy of our 
community as opposed to uncontested races which can sometimes demonstrate a 
lack of interest.    It is no reflection on the quality of your work.   I think 
that you have done an excellent job under very difficult circumstances.    If 
you are interested in being Chair, you should let the constituency know that 
too and secure a nomination.  We are fortunate to have so many who are 
interested in supporting the efforts of NPOC.

My best to you.

Lori

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

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

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to nominate Poncelet Ileleji, of YMCA of The Gambia, for the 
position of NPOC chair.  Poncelet joined NPOC in its formative years and has 
been active throughout.  He provides great incite as to the ramifications of 
ICANN internet policies on developing economies.

Kind regards,
Amber
