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

[Saul Stein]

This is nothing to do with consensus. 
The candidates were disqualified since they did not meet the requirements for nomination ie a proposer/nominator and seconder and that the nominator actually knows the candidate and the other potential Candice withdrew.

Totally have nothing against them but it seems so unprofessional that we just left other legitimate candidates in the air (Ibeanusi for example) and rushed to choose them. Furthermore, why should the elected candidates serve 1-2 years? We’re pushing for ad hoc elections because of the current co-chairs’ disqualification so the smartest move would be to elect new ones in the next meeting. Seems fishy, that’s all.

IMO, Anthony should also be still in the running.
