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

[Paschal Ochang]

I do agree deadlines are for a reason. Although there is a controversy
surrounding the nominations I don't think it voids the capability of the
candidates. There is an insinuation here that based on the nominnation
controversy the candidates are not capable or lack the quality to be
efficient if allowed to stand and elected, I beg to differ. Furthermore a
lot has happened that is not PDP compliant right from the onset of criteria
design. It's as if conclusions are made on perceptions rather what the
rules say.
