[NCSG-PC] URGENT: Selection of Board Seat 14 Search Committee Members

Wed Nov 12 22:56:15 EET 2025

Hi Pedro,

Pascal Bekono expressed his interest late after the deadline. What he wrote
is below. If the PC thinks he should be added to the list, then we can.

"*I found this message in my spam folder. I'm still experiencing this
problem. Many messages from the NCSG are ending up in spam.*

*I see that the deadline has passed; it was very close.As a former NOMCOM
delegate, I would have greatly appreciated being part of this search
committee. During NOMCOM experience, I was able to interview board members,
develop questionnaires, delve deeper into their qualifications, and gain a
solid understanding of the board's activities.If the opportunity arises to
apply again, please let me know.Furthermore, the issue of spam messages
from the NCSG should be addressed again.Thank you for your attention,* "

Remain blessed,
Tomslin
