[rpd] Policy Development Working Group co-Chairs selection

[Daniel Yakmut]

Dear Noah,

I am only saying we must be cautious at responding to each others 
opinions, without being seen to be arrogant about it.

However, you will note my angst is against the fact we are extending the 
tenure of the Co-chairs midway. Clearly, the guidelines and timelines 
was specific that we were taken action to bring on board 2 Co-chairs to 
*"complete the tenure of recalled co-chairs". *How do you explain the 
allocation/arrogation of one-year and two-year tenure when the new 
co-chairs emerged.

If I will say, was there no deception? I am led to conclude that if the 
two selected persons were not the ones that made it to the end, tenure 
extension would not have been muted. For the records I will not support 
illegality.


Simply,

Daniel
