[Ncuc-af] NCSG and NCUC elections

Wed Jul 18 20:48:42 CEST 2018

Hi Thato and everyone,

 It would be my pleasure to serve in any position if nominated either on
the NCSG or NCUC. I have been a member of the NCSG for the past 3 years now
if am not mistaken though still learning and understudy the people that
have gone ahead. My contact with Poncelet in Abuja of the recent has really
changed the way am now participating and open the opportunity for mentoring
by Kathy.  So feel free to nominate me as I have been participating in IGF
environment for years and other environment.

Regards.
Peter
