[NCSG-FC] [NCSG-PC] Fwd: [council] FY20 Supporting Organization & Advisory Committee (SO/AC) ABR Kickoff

Sun Nov 18 23:46:20 EET 2018

Hi Stephanie and colleagues
I think Thato has stated the much NCSG FC can be of assistant in this
regards

@Ayden
I had also maintained that until we give FC its due recognition in NCSG by
offering enabling support to deliver on its mandate is key to our moving
both NCSG and NCSG-FC to the next frontier. Its not enough to decline
support for FC and then turn around to expect it to deliver optimally.
Until and unless we review our processes to entrench accountability and
transparency, then, and only then we can make requisite progress and make
FC attractive for volunteers too.

I also wish to support Farz on  webinar idea for ABRl and we hope to work
around it in collating responses by FC. Just as Rafik made valid point on
how to get about it too.

However, @Farz are you suggesting that NCSG EC was not in the loop, because
the chair is leading this highlight and I am sure she will definitely
report back to EC?

Nice new week folks.
