[rpd] Co-Chair Election Process

[Emem William]

Dear All,

I can  recollect that a similar proposal was proposed as a policy and it
was overwhelmingly rejected in Angola. The current community totally
rejected the policy no one except the authors supported the idea because we
know it can't work in this region. Using online voting now would be like
passing the policy using the backdoor. Am sure Jordie would like this idea
and hence his enthusiasm. However my candid opinion is that we can't do
this. The most appropriate way forward is to allow the Co chair who has
been doing a fantastic job to continue for another 12 months or till the
next face to face meeting. The community that voted him in Kampala still
have confidence in him. In any case even with an online election he would
still likely win but I don't want polices to be passed through the back
door. Therefore I think the most appropriate way for this has been
suggested as an extension for the co-chair who's seat would have been
contested.

Cheers.

Emem E. William
