[Owen DeLong]

By all means, let’s get everyone together the same way and have them vote on whether or not to vote this way as a test. ;-)

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.
