[Ncuc-af] NCSG and NCUC elections

Wed Jul 18 21:42:12 CEST 2018

Thanks Kris for putting this out here in response to  Remmy’s request. 

Nominations for NCSG are already up, we need at least one Councilor and a Chair.

The NCUC nominations have not started and i will be happy to nominate Akinremi for Africa Rep on the Executive Committee. I am sure you can do very well there, Peter. Let’s rediscuss this at the time nominations are open!

Thanks everyone for the energy!

A question for @Maryam: do we have all Africa members on this list? Can we have the link shared on the NCUC list so they can join?

The same point was raised by Arsene weeks ago and Rafik clearly suggested a strategy that could help us achieved a more desirable outcome. In addition with Rafik suggestion, I would also like to suggest that we need to put on the hat of nominate ourselves for strategically positioning. While we are actively participating, Rafik, Poncelet, Farell, Anriette, Arsene among others should use their influence to nominate African colleagues . This would clearly shows that there is potential African candidates on the list.
