[PC-NCSG] NCSG letter to board RE: NomCom seat allocation to NPOC

[Poncelet Ileleji]

Hello Robin and Colleagues,

Good day, this is a position, I highly welcome and concur, its relevance
cannot be understated in the new era of ICANN today, so am certain with
your proposal the board will see reason and approve it.

Regards

Poncelet
