[Npoc-discuss] Nomination of Judith Hellerstein for Policy Chair

Fri May 12 06:58:37 UTC 2023

Endorsement of Judith Hellerstein ++++1

As a former Policy Chair I know what this entails and over the years we
haven't built momentum on policy formulation.  Judith fits the profile to
build that momentum on policy for NPOC.  So I fully endorse her for this
position.

Kind Regards

Poncelet
