[rpd] WE NEED YOUR INPUT, MAXIMUM BY TUESDAY 16TH NOON: Decision of way forward for new (transition or elected) co-chairs

[Mark Elkins]

I'll go with what Mike has said, that is - Option 1. I think a directive 
from the CEO & Chair is all that is needed and doesn't really need to 
wait a week for a full Board Meeting. It is on the shoulders of this 
community to fix the problem.

I think we should only allow the same people that were eligible to vote 
last time - which would save time. I presume that list still exists.

I'd like to see at least four people standing. I don't believe that the 
two ex-chairs should be allowed to stand (we are trying to change a bad 
situation). Personally, I'd like to see people standing that are 
resource owners - as they then have their own skin in the game - as 
such. No one with a policy in the current process chain should stand.

Most votes - person stands for remainder of two years,
second most votes - stands for remainder of this current year.

As Arnaud AMELINA <amelnaud at gmail.com> said on 24th Dec:

 > Is it normal that out of 2 cochairs, none is contact of a resource 
member?
 > Having a cochair who runs network and serves as contact (technical) 
of a  resource member is a big wish as previously discussed in this 
community.

Lastly - Thanks Jordi!
