[rpd] Co-Chair Election Process

[Paschal Ochang]

Hello all,

Yes I will gave to agree with the extension of the period of service of the
current co-chair whose tenure is about to expire. In as much as almost
every process in the is pandemic era will benefit from virtual
participations we need to look at the intricacies of the current
suggestions for using rpd participants and remote voting.

I can remember that a policy regarding electronic voting was rejected due
to loopholes in the proposal.

Secondly disenfranchising folks who will love to participate even in the
last minute should not be justifiable.
