[Ncuc-af] Endorsemnt for Elections

[Bonface Witaba]

Dear Farell, All,

I refer to your statement "Africa members should try to have at most 1 or two candidates to maximize his/her chance to be elected and we should all stand behind".

This is exactly what we have; 2 candidates - right?
Supporting one or the other does not in any way imply that we are in disagreement, but rather shows how democratic the process is (one of the reasons we have elections anyway).
That said, we should take pride that the 2 candidates have a wealth of experience, and that NCUC is bound to reap from this for the benefit of the community.

It is thus my humble opinion that we support the two fronted names, In the end, the minority will have their say, and the majority their way.

Kind regards

Bonface Witaba

 Dear All,
 How are you doing ? Elections will be held soon
 and nomination period is already open, so I think it could
 be good that we share a common vision or talk with the same
 voice. Firstly,  Africa members should try to have at most
 1 or two candidates to maximize his/her chance to be elected
 and we should all stand behind.
 For this election period, I personaly think it
 would be wise to let Ines stand for the second sun of her
 term, however; having Yolanda as an alternate solution is
 also a good choice. Changing Ines just right may let people
 from other continent think that we have disagreement on how
 she has been working so far or we are very
 united.
 For the NCUC chair position, I don't know
 whether somebody within our communty is intending to apply
 for, otherwise I would like to suggest that we support
 Renata since she is very sensible to Internet issues in
 Africa and for south to south collaboration it would be a
 good thing to have her by our side, at least by now.
 Therefore, I encourage us to endorse Ines fo her second run
 (if she still wants to) while Yolanda is a good sucessor,
 and Renata for the position of NCUC chair. It is only a
 suggestion, anyone can come with another vision but
 don't get me wrong: the purpose of my e-mail is to
 suggest we talk with the same voice as much as
 possible.--
