NCUC Nomination for Poncelet

Mon Oct 22 11:05:51 CEST 2012

Hello colleagues,

Good day, and thanks for all the feed back, am a member of the NPOC
constituency and will definitely stick to my membership and role within
NPOC constituency.

Thanks Remmy for the nomination and to other colleagues for all the views
and feed back shared.

Best Wishes

Poncelet
