[rpd] Eligibility Criteria for PDWG chairs

[Anthony Ubah]

Dear PDWG,





*Proposed Eligibility Criteria *



*A.              **OK*

*B.              **OK*

*C.              **OK* I think 2 Years is also acceptable

*D.              **OK* I think 2 Years is also acceptable

*E.              **OK*

*F.             **NOK* (How can 3 Years of technical experience be
measured? Can a member who is an academic count none-industry years spent
in studies and research as technical experience. If not, does that count
for nothing?)

*G.             **NOK* (I feel it is unnecessary to restrict Authors of
pending policies. Since these authors aren’t solely responsible for the
reasons why their policy(s) have stayed under review through the duration,
I think they shouldn’t be forbidden from running. We all know certain
proposal have been under scrutiny by the PDWG for over 2 years. Such
policies can be addressed separately)

*H.             **NOK* (Some community members who neither “reside within”
nor “originate from  AFRINIC’s service region” actively participate in the
community, and they have been allowed to propose policies (to help the
region), and these policies are also accepted and implemented. I suggest
their candidacy should also be accepted in the same vane, and they should
be allowed to run if they so desire to, in good faith)

*I.                 **OK (*What metrics can be used to evaluate this?)




In summary, I think the guideline in the PDWG election process for
eligibility criteria should be followed, until a proposal with a different
guiding protocol is approved instructing the community to do otherwise.
Since there is an existing protocol, let us stick to it.





According to this guide
https://afrinic.net/policy/development-working-group?lang=en-GB#election

Subsection 3

3)  Candidate Eligibility

The candidate must:

•         Be a natural person residing in a country from the AFRINIC
service region.

•         Not be a staff of AFRINIC or any other Regional Internet Registry
(RIR).


Why do we insist on straying?



Kind regards,


Anthony
