[rpd] PDWG situation without co-chairs

[Badru Ntege]

I believe this is the correct understanding of the outcome.

We now need to move forward with the selection of new co-chairs.

The community is committed to accept the outcome of the committee.

Lets move on.

Regards.

No Daniel, the output of the Recall Committee regarding the Co-Chairs is already final (read point 19 from their report) according to whats the CPM says about it, so it does not have to be approved by anyone, not even the Board itself.

So currently we don't have any Co-Chairs.

What the Committee has mentioned in the document is for the Board to lead the election of the new Co-Chairs and determine the transition during this interim.

That's it.

figured out and  that is why we called for recall of the Co-chairs.

I am baffled that Jordi is already making a suggestion on how to proceed
to get new Co-Chairs. When the recommendations of the Recall Committee
has not being assented to. Though, I don't know who is to approve the
recommendations of the committee.

Hence, the response of Jordi is not tenable here, since I have not seen
any declaration that, we don't have co-chairs. I am aware that the Alan
Barret led committee made recommendations, which requires acceptance,
approval and implementation.

I am rather seeing a strange situation in the haste that is being
suggested on how to deal with the 'situation of no Co-chairs'.

I am currently studying the documents provided by the Recall Committee,
to enable one make an appropriate comment. But, at this early stages the
outcome of the committees report remains just recommendations.


Simply,

Daniel

Who takes care of ensuring a profitable discussion in the list for any policy proposal (and we have many in the table), or even ensuring that there is not any abuse or bad behavior during this period?
