due processes in all we do serving our constituency.<span class=""> </span>Am writing this in my current capacity as
Policy Chair for NPOC, which ends next week and am not contesting again for
that position.<span class=""> </span>As you all might have
noticed I am, consisting for the Chair position of NPOC in this our election
cycle.<span class=""></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">However my point I wish to highlight is the selection and operation
of a Policy Committee which is coming in place before the election cycle is
over. <span class=""> </span>The two candidates for Policy
Chair namely Remmy Nweke and David Cake, am not certain they were consulted on
the creation of a policy committee prior to any of them taken up the position
if elected as our policy chair after the election cycle.<span class=""></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Having spent 22 years of my professional life in an
organisation the YMCA which has existed globally since 1844 I know the values
that due processes in board selection and committee selection play, they don’t happen
when an incumbent term is not over and when a new person to chair a position has
not been elected infact I do not think it happens in any Not for Profit. As a
founding member organisation of NPOC I have not seen this happen before since
our existence as an ICANN Constituency or even in our sister constituency NCUC.<span class=""></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Based on the above even though I was informed by our Vice
Chair about the setup of a policy committee which is required by our charter
and I tried to reach out to members during my time as policy chair, it’s the process
of doing it that was not done rightly.<span class="">
</span>The process must involve the incoming chair as he has to work with that
committee.<span class=""> </span>My tenure ends next week so I
can’t have any input on this; however I feel due process was not followed, probably
it’s because it’s an election cycle season but I leave members to use their own
prerogative to judge.<span class=""></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The members of this newly created <span class=""> </span>NPOC policy committee are not known to me, I
hardly have seen any of them in any policy meeting of NCSG PC as observers, the
main attendants of NCSG Policy meetings from NPOC are myself, Juan, our
councillor Martin and Sam La Franco and in some cases our former Chair
Klaus.<span class=""> </span><span class=""></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Based on this fact with all due respect to members of this
newly elected NPOC Policy committee, who are you?<span class=""> </span>When have your association with NPOC
started?<span class=""> </span>Where is your Statement of
Interest (SOI) as required by ICANN in serving in any working group?<span class=""> </span>These are questions pertinent to any serious
organisation that believes in following due process.<span class=""></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I leave you all to judge if the right processes where followed
prior to a new chair of Policy coming in?.<span class="">
</span>Let’s follow proper procedures / processes and let those in this new Policy
committee explain who they are? when did their affiliation start with NPOC?,
how long have they known and understood ICANN processes as a true multi stake
holder representative organisation? <span class=""> </span>where bottom top approach is the
procedure.<span class=""> </span>These are relevant questions
in moving NPOC forward we need to do things rightly?<span class=""> </span>I will also like to know if any other
committee within NPOC has been constituted before their new Chairs come in
after our election cycle.<span class=""></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">In Conclusion I will like to state I wish to be removed from
the mailing list of NPOC Policy committee created, as I strongly feel due
process was not followed as a new chair is coming in by next week and he should
be the right person to decide and advice on NPOC Policy direction and nominate
those who should serve with him in the policy committee from our membership
base.<span class=""> </span>This hastily constituted Policy committee
<span class=""> </span>happening even prior to our Charter
review process been complete is not right at all and most importantly new
chairs are not yet in place<span class=""> </span>Its best to
members to decipher whether due process was followed or not.<span class=""></span></p><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span class=""> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Kind Regards<span class=""></span></p><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span class=""> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Poncelet<span class=""></span></p>
