[rpd] Co-Chair Election Process

[Sami Salih]

Salam Eddy, All

It's clear that we don't have any another choice than relying on the rpd, thus we have to consider the followings:

1) Mitigating the (sleeper cells) effect, not all subscribers are real participants, hence I recommend to apply a light filter such as minimum of 10 posts before today. (just an example)

2) I would prefer an in-house develop system to perform as follows:
   i- Send eligibility email to those who satisfy the conditions in (1), with a link to register for voting,
   ii- then the voting credentials send only to registered fellows,
   iii- after the announced voting period the result published with the list of votes,
I didn't see any harm if the community see that I voted to someone, even in show of hands the session record documents who is voting for who.

Yep, in fact looking at the features and the way it works, seems very very close to what LACNIC is using (I believe the developed in-house, but I’m not sure).

Hi Eddy, all,



LACNIC always do this remotely and electronically, using the subscribers in the RPD mailing list at some point before the process starts (to avoid “lots of friends” not really “part of the PDP” to join the day before the voting).



I will think it is the best choice we have in replacement for a non-in-person-meeting.



I think they could help in providing the platform or the code or something similar, in case you don’t have already an existing platform to do that.

Jordi

Dear PDWG community members

The Public Policy Meeting will be on the agenda of the  Africa Internet Summit 2020 (AIS-20) inSeptember. One PDWG co-chair’s term (one year) will end during the Public Policy Meeting.

The election process for the PDWG co-chair (please see https://www.afrinic.net/policy/development-working-group#election for more details) says that voting shall be by a simple show of hands. However, this Public Policy meeting shall be held online.

We are therefore requesting feedback from the community on how AFRINIC can best proceed with the election to fill the vacant seat of one PDP co-chair. We shall be delighted to receive your proposals for this important matter and hope we can have a consensus within a week.

Regards,

Eddy

Chers membres de la communauté du PDWG,

La réunion de politique publique sera à l'ordre du jour du Sommet Africain de l'Internet 2020 (AIS-20) qui se tiendra du 14 au 18 septembre 2020. Le mandat d'un des coprésidents du PDWG (un an) prendra fin pendant la réunion de politique publique.

Le processus d'élection du coprésident du PDWG (voir https://www.afrinic.net/policy/development-working-group#election pour plus de détails) prévoit que le vote se fera à main levée. Toutefois, cette réunion de politique publique se tiendra en ligne.

Nous demandons donc à la communauté de nous faire part de ses commentaires sur la meilleure façon pour AFRINIC de procéder à l'élection pour pourvoir le siège vacant d'un coprésident du PDP. Nous serons ravis de recevoir vos propositions sur cette importante question et esperons avoir un consensus dans une semaine.

Cordialement,

Eddy
