Dear NPOC members From time to time it is necessary for any organizations to review its Mission and Vision and to remind itself what it is all about. For this reason the new NPOC EC had started to create a Base document and this document is now available. (attached). This document will serve us on many levels from the outreach strategy to the Charter review we are just engaged in. I encourage all NPOC members to review the attached base document. If you have any questions or suggestions, please share them with us all.
