[rpd] PDWG Co-Chairs Selection pursuant to Section 3.3 of CPM - Status @ 9 April 2021

[Okoye Somtochukwu]

Dear Community, 

Based on the looks and thread of the arguments, I sincerely believe that the community are judging two candidates by the mistake made by the organization and an issue that is above and beyond their control. I am in support of the candidates and nominees Wijdane and Anthony. Muscling them out of the race is very unfair. Additionally, I am in support of the original idea and task of finding replacements for the two co-chairs to serve for terms that end by the 1st AFRINIC PPM in June 2021 and not the one year or two year term. Likewise, the way Elvis was rejected and tossed out of the electoral process was so unfair and biased, the organization should give be play on the part of fairness and give him the same opportunity like other candidates. 

Regards, 
Valentine.
