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

[lucilla fornaro]

 I don't see why we should even discuss these criteria. I firmly object to
what you wrote!

I have the feeling that this list is becoming more and more self-oriented.
Am I wrong, or Afrinic encourage an inclusive approach, a "collaborative
environment in which people from many different backgrounds and cultures
work together for the good of the African and global Internet"?
So why are we talking about setting these kinds of criteria? They should
not exist. Asking to be a member is indeed discriminatory. There is no
other way to see it.
A solid understanding of CPM/PDP is essential, but these are basic elements
that should not be considered criteria. The other points are simply too
strict for a voluntary position. To be clear, I am not saying that long
experience is not valuable, but rather than categorizing people, we should
look for genuine commitment to serve Afrinic for the better.
