Draft Resolution

Background 

The ccNSO onboarding and mentoring committee (OMC) is tasked with the onboarding, mentoring and engaging newcomers in the activities of the ccNSO. As part of these tasks the OMC has updated the 2018 mentoring program, developed under auspices of the ccNSO Onboarding and Involvement Standing Committee (OISC), which has been formally closed. 

Due to the pandemic and its aftermath, the OISC mentoring program was never carried forward beyond an initial start in 2019.  

Although the OMC was mandated to launch and oversee a mentoring program, the OMC seeks Council support for the program, to ensure broader support and visibility. 

Decision

The ccNSO Council supports the ccNSO mentoring program as proposed by the ccNSO Onboarding and Mentoring Committee. The secretariat is requested to inform the OMC of this decision and publish as soon as possible. This decision becomes effective upon publication and the Council wishes the OMC success with the program.
