Thanks for the historical perspective Tapani,

Based on your experiences,  I wish to nominate you as Vice Chair for NPOC if you will accept it, having served as chair of NCSG your experience will be very important to help guide our policy chair just nominated.  I hope you accept Tapani.

Thank you

For historical accuracy:

In NCSG several former chairs have served in NCSG EC as well as in the
Council (indeed some do right now, Robin Gross in the EC and Stephanie
Perrin in the Council unless I'm mistaken).

In NCUC at least David Cake was Chair earlier and AP representative
later and Rafik Dammak was NCUC's policy committee representative
after being NCUC Chair.

Absolutely agreed here, everybody willing should run.

But now we're only nominating candidates, election comes later.

And it is definitely good governance and good for democracy to have
several candidates for voters to choose from.

Regards,
