[rpd] Revised Proposal | Chairs Elections Process (Draft-2)

[Cathie Jay]

Dear all,

I oppose this policy because of its objective to drastically reduce
participation. The principle for equal representation will be violated
since the board would make decisions behind close doors. Any
information on the mechanisms of that vote are also missing,
especially on the system of electronic vote. The policy as it is
currently drafted calls for an intensive use of Afrinic’s resources
and this will, in the long-term lead to the loss of its efficiency.

All best wishes,

Cathie

So, it needs to be more clear.

> I think that this "A term may begin or end no sooner than the first day of the Public Policy Meeting and no later than the last day of the Public Policy Meeting as determined by the mutual agreement of the current Chair and the new Chair. " contradicts the earlier statement which clearly states when the term ends.
