[rpd] Co-Chair Election Process

[Fernando Frediani]

I have read this message and several questions come to mind as for example:

- What basis was used to say "it was overwhelmingly" rejected ?

- Who actuallty represents the "current" community to state it was "totally
rejected" ?

- Whats basis was used to say that it would not work in the region if that
works in several other places and RIRs including, with auditable systems ?

- Whats basis is used to say rhe community that voted for the current
Co-Chair in Kampla has the same confidence in him and that he would win ?
It seems more a personal wish than anything based on fact or logic.

- Even in order to extend the current Co-Chair term the PDP MUST be
followed and there are no other ways written there other than another vote.
Otherwise how can this be done ?
