[Npoc-discuss] Thank you for your confidence and trust

[Klaus Stoll]

Dear NPOC Members

I want to THANK YOU all for the confidence and trust you have extended 
to me in the recent NPOC election by making me the NPOC chair.

I also want to thank all elected Excom Members for making themselves 
available to serve in the NPOC Excom.

In my opinion it is important that we work as NPOC as a team of all 
members and all those concerned in not for profit internet governance 
issues. For this reason I have called the upcoming Tuesday NPOC 
Executive Committee meeting to be an open meeting for all NPOC members 
and also to invite those interested NCUC members. I am looking forward 
to the conversations we will have in the meeting around the various topics.

The role of all NPOC Excom members is to serve not govern the NPOC 
constituency members and my role as NPOC chair is to ensure that it is 
actually happening.  Internet governance is a bottom-up up, transparent, 
multi stakeholder based process and our NPOC work has to be the same and 
reflect this.

As a constituency our role is to actively participate in the various 
internet governance processes based on the operational concerns of our 
members. This is the only way to protect our interests and effectively 
contribute to the stability, resilience and development of the common 
good we call the Internet. Let's chart this path together through 
learning by doing, and let us be judged by our actions.

I also want to encourage all NPOC members to use this list to let us all 
know what you think NPOC should get involved with, what activities we 
should implement, and what comments and ideas you have. Also don't be 
shy to let us all know what you think is going wrong in NPOC. Please 
remember to compliment your comments with actions we can take to a 
address the issues you identified. All criticism should be presented in 
a constructive and transparent way.

Again, THANK YOU!!! and now the election is over, let's go to work again.

Till Tuesday, yours

Klaus
