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

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

In all this kind of things, deadlines are for a good reason. Otherwise, next week another “mistake” could be discovered, and so on.

 

In addition to that, I don’t think it is really a mistake, but using a contact for nomination that has not agreed on that, and this is really a very bad sign.

 

In my country, and I bet this is the same in others, if you make a mistake in a candidancy, and you discover after the deadline, it is invalid, no matter who is the “guilty”. Even if you make a “mistake” in the tax report, it is just invalid and sanctions will apply, even if the mistake was “against yourself”.

 

Regards,

Jordi

Hello all, 

 

Feel free to correct, but from what I could understand, Wijdane and Anthony didn't know that their nominator had problems, and then Paul had cleared it up after the date for nominations had expired.. isn't it a bit unfair to disqualify them so immediately? I mean, they were expecting that they are qualified (the seconder issue notwithstanding) but they didn't know that the nominator had issues (one that the nominator corrected and explained albeit belatedly) so they couldn't have done anything to help correct the mistake. 

 

You all raised good points, so I request you consider this angle too before we as a WG rush into hasty decisions. 

 

Thank you.

Hi Jaco,

 

I strongly agree with the above. Both Vincent and Darwin have requisite knowledge and qualification for the job. They are very well suited for the task.

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
