[rpd] Co-Chair Election Process

[Owen DeLong]

I cannot recall the last time that outcome was achieved in an in-person AfriNIC co-chair election, so I’m not sure that I can follow your logic here.

How is a virtual show of hands in a virtual meeting any less credible or more contentious than an in-person show of hands? Have we forgotten the events in Uganda so quickly?

Since the incumbent Co-chairs ain't complaining of the offices overdue; in as much as they are doing a wonderful job and has justified the confidence we reposed on them last year in Kampala, Let us unanimously agree to allow them remain in office till we meet face to face for the election as usual.
