[rpd] Call for interest for PDWG chairs closed & Way forward

[Jaco Kroon]

Hi All,

Given that we've repeatedly stated that there should be a nominator and
a seconder for all nominations, this means we only really received 3
nominations (3,4,5 below).

Given that Abulkarim (4) was one of the co-chairs removed by the recall
committee, and there has been controversy around the previous co-chairs,
in my opinion we only really have two candidates.

And both of these candidates seems to be good choices.  From Vincent's
(3) nomination, by Barry:

"Vincent is an outstanding person for the PDWG as he was the first
co-chair of the same back in the days. we need to bring back the
fundamental values and hence i nominate him"

I could not agree more about bringing back the fundamentals, and plainly
Vincent has experience in a co-chair position that we desperately need
at this point in time.

Regarding Darwin (5), I've gone back and read a fair number of his
emails over the last year or so, and Darwin in my opinion has a level
head, the ability to reason and understand as well.  I could not find a
single example of him being involved personally in a controversy in
spite of him providing his opinion on a number of topics.

I would thus like to make two proposals.

1.  We select the two candidates as above, in my opinion with Vincent in
the two-year tenure and Darwin in the one year tenure.  By consensus if
possible.

2.  Given that the next meeting is two months from now, I would like to
propose that we measure these tenures as from "this year" such that the
effective tenures will be one and two years respectively from now, and
not "puppet" and "one year" effectively.

Kind Regards,
Jaco
