[NCUC-DISCUSS] Statement on Transparency and Off-list Communication

[Kris Seeburn]

Raffick.. these are also very true. Leadership can be a lone situation at times if not many times. We certainly can never please everyone. It’s a situation that attracts its best and worst. The rest i am not going to comment on. But leaderships are the loneliest of all.

I experienced in many instances. 

All the best to all.
Kris

We all faced that at some time during our terms. is it pleasant? of course not but as leaders, we got to respond calmly and explain our reasons. we may be right or wrong but at the end, that doesn't matter, but we owe responses to our members as part of accountability and being responsible. I have no position on the issue faced by the EC to be shared on the list and only wish them good luck and I am pretty sure of theirs genuine reasons.

As I am the NCSG Policy Committee chair, I am trying to understand what you mean by bullies there and take responsibility if there is any problem. If someone has an issue or complaint, he or she can report that to NCSG chair and/or to me when needed and they can be ensured that their inquiry will be taken into account and seriously investigated. I don't think going through 3rd party is the right way to do so. Some discussion can be tense but I don't recall anyone dismissed, attacked or pushed. people can check the PC list as all our deliberations are there or check the recordings of NCSG policy call as we discuss policy matters there.
