[rpd] Co-Chair Election Process

[Paschal Ochang]

+1 Tony.

Categorising various participants and members in rpd and mapping them to
their respective voting privileges will be a good way to start.

I have attended multiple meetings and have networked with people whom have
never posted on or commented on RPD but have spoken passionately in open
mic sessions and I was amazed why they have been incognito in mailing lists.

I think where we missed it a little bit may be trying to tie the
development of a remote or electronic voting system together with a
proposal. I don't think a proposal must first scale through in order to
spear head the development of a remote or electronic voting system. This
should be policy independent IMHO.

While we already have limited time we can have a remote meeting and discuss
everything in the agenda while delaying the election process a little bit
and thereby extending the tenure of the current seat holders.

Hopefully when we adapt to the new normal and can hold a face to face
meeting  we can hold elections by then and I will get to see and enjoy the
physical company of our beloved Afrinic community as usual.
