[NCSG-PC] Fwd: [NextGen-Alumni] Call for NextGen Mentors!

Thu Sep 1 18:10:27 EEST 2022

Dear all,

So, im writing just to let you know that we had two candidates - Pascal
Bekono and Bolutife - and, given the lack of discussion here i ended up
suggesting both to Philippe, Sebastian and Tomslin. Also, given this was
not an internal NCSG process and mostly done at the level of GNSO, its kind
of a strange position due to the lack of discussions with the broader SO on
who will be our nominees (and id even say lack of information from GNSO
leadership too).

On the "active member" discussion, I understand the points raised by Steph.
I often come across candidacies of members who are only active within one
Constituency and never really show up to PC or membership meetings, so
thats a fair question or point to raise. And maybe a matter of attention to
upcoming candidates for such positions is to be able to have a good
relationship also with the SG given that being active at NCUC or NPOC
doesnt necessarily mean the SG.

Best,
Bruna
