Dear NPOC Members,
I am writing to express my strongest endorsement of Caleb Ogundele for Outreach and Engagement Coordinator. 

I have had the pleasure of knowing him for more than Seven (7) years in my role as an Executive of the Internet Society Nigeria Chapter.

During this time, I have consistently been impressed by his exceptional leadership qualities and dedication to mentoring others.

Caleb possesses a natural ability to lead and inspire others. He has a clear vision and is adept at communicating it effectively to team members. He fosters a collaborative environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute.  For example, he stepped aside to allow the Chapter Secretariat function without restriction and was open to new ideas and innovations. This was extended to any willing Executive.

Caleb is a dedicated and patient mentor who takes a genuine interest in the growth and development of others. He possesses a knack for identifying strengths and weaknesses, and readily provides constructive feedback and guidance. He has a proven track record of success in helping mentees achieve their full potential. A particular example of his mentorship skills is encouraging more Nigerians understand how best to participate in ICANN by organizing outreach projects, engagement webinars and mentoring sessions though the School of Internet Governance, ISOC Webinars, to mention a few.

Caleb's ability to lead effectively and mentor others makes him a truly invaluable asset. He is a highly motivated and results-oriented individual with the skills and experience necessary to excel in this role. 

I have no doubt that Caleb Ogundele would be a valuable addition to the team. He is a highly respected colleague and a true leader. I highly recommend him for this position.

All the best, Caleb.

- Dr. Adebunmi Adeola Akinbo

Thank you @Poncelet Jokkolabs Banjul  @Glenn McKnight @Raymond Mamattah  for the nomination and endorsement.
Indeed, it's another humbling experience for me to serve. I have served the NPOC/NCSG with a track record of excellence and having a couple of modest contributions which include myself taking the lead on a couple of initiatives and being author/co-author of public comments and NCSG Administrative matters.
During my time as the Membership Chair, I have seen our membership grow in leaps and bounds and I have also dedicated time out to mentor a few that reached out among which we have some in different leadership positions cutting across the strata of ICANN and other I* or Internet Governance ecosystem. Also behind the scenes, I have worked with a couple of persons in public comment authoring and they are active within the NCSG space as a beacon of shining light and example for those who really want to actively participate and do the work an EC and volunteer is supposed to do.

While there is more to say about the work done in NPOC, leadership itself is a volunteerism spirit that needs to be encouraged, and that task itself is growth. I will let the records speak for itself.

In appreciation of the call to serve once again, I do accept my nomination for the record.

Caleb Ogundele
