[rpd] Criteria for Eligibility or Selection of PDWG Co-Chairs

[Saul Stein]

Hi Sunday,



Re point 6:



This is something that I think is the fundamental breakdown and cause of our 
troubles and goes for all of us, not just the selection of co-chairs.



When we get involved in volunteer work, it is just that – we do so for the 
better of the community and organisation.



One needs to understand that self-serving interest does not come into play 
and that there could very well be circumstances where what is right for the 
community is not what is right for your particular personal or business 
need. However, we need to put the community first ALWAYS.



Once we have that right, I think things will improve considerably.



Just my 2cents

Saul

I am OK with Noah's trajectory, proposition, and Mike's modification.

Slight edit in 4. "which is am AFRINIC resource members" should read "who is 
an AFRINIC resource member"

I also think we should add ...

6. Ability to remain calm in the face of provocation and respect for the 
continental diversity.

Thanks Noah



I think that is an excellent list.



The only thing I would add to your point 5 is an intangible quality - a 
history (or perception) of building consensus. Some of us understand RFC 
7282, but because of our passion, style or language are less successful (or 
perceived as less successful) at moving the group towards consensus.



Regards



Mike

Hi PDWG participants,



Could we as a WG participants agree on a set of criteria for a WG 
participant to become a co-chair.



This I believe is more important and I had shared some few ideas below a 
separate thread but I think it would make sense to work this out on this new 
thread.



Some thoughts that crossed my mind as criteria;



1. Active participation in WG discussions by a participant, in say, the past 
3 years.



2. Participant should demonstrate a clear understanding of the CPM and 
especially sections that relate to the PDWG.



3. Participant should have some 5 years sound technical experience in this 
space with a clear understanding of Internet Protocol and preferably having 
worked in this space.



4. Affiliation with an entity which is am AFRINIC resource members could 
come in handy for a participant interested in chairing policy discussions.



5. Understanding of rfc7282 and what rough consensus and consensus is all 
about, after all consensus is a path and not a destination. This is very 
important.



Other participants in this WG can also add and we see what criteria are more 
required and which ones to discard to keep it simple.



I stand to be corrected but I think we as a WG have an obligation to first 
sort this requirements out before we can think of the selection of the 
interim co-chairs.



Cheers

Noah
