[Npoc-discuss] Nomination for Chair of NPOC

Thu May 10 13:21:51 UTC 2018

Dear Colleagues,

I accept the nomination of Marie Laure with humility. Knowing the history
of NPOC and where I feel it should be is the driving force behind me
accepting this nomination especially as my organization is one of the
founding members of NPOC.

I  wish to categorically state, I do not intend to contest or seek any
other position in NPOC again after this election cycle.  If I lose I will
still serve NPOC within ICANN  working groups am involved within the policy
development processes,  and also support any mentor-ship scheme that is
needed in NPOC to mentor new membership organizations into its fold.

Since Marie Laure who knows me well and has talked about me in her
nomination, I will focus on my 7 points agenda  I will do if elected as
your chair.

1. Create an NPOC institutional memory tank working with initial members of
NPOC on how to empower  NPOC membership organizations based on its founding
principles as an ICANN constituency within the Non Commercial Stake Holders
Group(NCSG).

2. Create a reinvigorated monthly call of members, with the incentive that
based on attendance of monthly calls  and involvement in NPOC policy
discuss within ICANN, members of NPOC will have two travel slots to attend
ICANN meetings. This will be allocated  with one coming from the Chair slot
of three allocated during a calendar year and one coming from slots
allocated to NPOC  to attend any regional / Global event like IGF etc.  I
belief our members have to have the possibilities to attend such events and
in turn developing their capacities in supporting the work they do back
home in understanding why the DNS is relevant to NGOs an why we need to be
involved as an ICANN constituency.

3. I will institute a program Know your GAC members, its very important
NPOC  members who do great community work should know their governmental
representative at the ICANN GAC. It helps to create synergy in policy
development framework back home especially within National IGF discuss, as
in the end its a key factor in developing a true multi stakeholder process
starting bottom top.  As whatever we do at NPOC within the policy discuss
should filter down to our national level and that requires our members to
know who their GAC representatives are and how to better engage them.

4. Programs like the on-boarding I will strength by creating better cross
collaboration with our sister constituency NCUC.

5. Recreate joint sessions and panels in National Regional and Global IGF
with NCUC under the umbrella of NCSG, these existed previously in the early
days of NPOC and we should recreate it as it brings better understanding of
the workings of both constituencies.

6. Within our new Web portal,if elected Chair,  I will create a dedicated
section in our web portal for NPOC members to state organizational  profile
and key officers within their organizations. This allows possibilities of
knowledge sharing / networking among members of NPOC. This will allow us to
make use of our in house resources we can't do that, if we hardly know each
other within  our membership organizations.  This is something I will
initiate by engaging each representative of an organization in NPOC
directly so we know our membership base better.

7, Lastly I will work with seasoned  NCUC members to create quarterly
webinars where NPOC new members and old can understand the policy
development processes and also how to contribute to public comments.

In short these are the key 7 pointers I hope kick starting my tenure with
and institutionalizing in NPOC if elected Chair.

Wishing you all the best in your various endeavors in the various
communities we serve globally through our work.

Kind Regards

Poncelet
