[Ncuc-af] Summary of NCUC-Africa Skype Call

[Benjamin Akinmoyeje]

Dear Olevie,
Thank you for your response. It is valuable and your points resonate with
some of the issues raised yesterday.

I believe that we can experiment with language on our list and it is time
to submit we look for how to translate the content.
The priority now is to get our members making contributions as much as
possible. If we have anyone competent in translating the public call for
comment into french - Yazid, Mamoudu, and Muriel or you Olevie - we can get
a draft document and have others to jump in.


In respect of participation in either NPOC or NCUC, we need to synergize
for optimum input per subject area. Since Olevie is very active in NPOC, I
believe when issues arise in relation to nonprofits or NGOs, you should
guide us and give us some pointers on how to approach the issue.

It should not be a challenge or obstruction from contributing to public
comments drafting or policy developments.

These are my thoughts as well.

Kind regards,
Benjamin
