Hi Benjamin,

 

There is something that you’re probably missing.

 

The PDP is short in the elections. The PDP doesn't state how the elections are done, only a very generic framework, so in that case all is up to the Board.

 

The Board decided at some point to setup a process, and consequently the board is the one to modify the process.

 

While I agree that this process should be managed by the community, in this situation we can’t do that, so we should keep the process in the way the Board decided and work towards a real community decided process.

 

This is why, without having the crystal ball and consequently not knowing about the coming Covid-19 pandemic, in November 2019, we started to work in a complete proposal for this “Chairs Elections Process”:

The authors are right now working in updating this proposal, so I will suggest that we could invest some time in discussing it, so we can send a new version in a few days.

 

Regards,

Jordi

Dear CEO,

Thank you for the email and the wonderful job you have been doing since appointed. However regarding your email, I totally disagree with you based on the following

1. The guiding book of PDWG is the CPM and not the CEO's decision.

2. The CPM is clear on who is a member of the PDWG. The CPM states clearly that Any person who has joined the making list is a member of if the working group.

3. The CPM is also clear the chair is elected by members of the working group.

4. There is no where in the CPM where there is a 6 months rule on voting therefore the rule cannot be created now. You cannot change the goalpost at the middle of the game. The election guideline issues at the time of nomination process is very clear as to how the election would take place. This is by shoe of hand. Show of hand can also be done online

5. How can the AFRNIC determine that the increase in mailing list is because of elections. We all know that as a result of COVID 19 everyone is now moving online are you saying we would not deny this people the option to vote? We definitely cannot do that. For example I have been on the mailing list in the past and I opted out because of all the confusing and abuse always happening and I joined back again last week are you now going to deny me  and others like me the opportunity to vote? This seams like an attempt by AFRINIC to rig the election in favour of the some groups. 

6. You made reference to other RIR can you please mention one RIR that has the 6 months rule in place before Thier online election. ?

7. I think AFRINIC needs to be careful. AFRINIC staff is expected to be neutral in all cases and if Afrinic staff are now judging new members as to Thier motive of joining the WG this is not ideal.

Thank you
