[rpd] APPEAL AGAINST THE CONFIRMATION OF CONSENSUS DECLARED BY THE POLICY LIAISON TEAM AND THE BOARD ON THE SELECTION OF PDWG CO-CHAIRS

[Arnaud AMELINA]

===Français===
Voici encore une autre preuve tangible  de l'incompréhension et de
l'ignorance des principes de bases du fonctionnement du PDP, par certains
nouveaux membres de cette communauté.

De grâce, chers nouveaux, prennez le temps d'apprendre et d'expérimenter
les principes de base, avant de vous jeter tête baissée dans les
discussions, avec les autres membres plus expérimentés que vous dans cette
communauté.

Refusez d'être les porte-voix de certains brockers, cachés dans cette
communauté et qui tirent les ficelles de la manipulation des jeunes
étudiantes et étudiants de notre communauté.

Fernando a su bien démontrer le fonctionnement du principe d'appel contre
les décisions prises dans le PDP. S'il vous plaît suivez et apprenez auprès
de ces personnes expérimentées.

La sélection des nouveaux co-chairs fut un processus conduit entièrement
par les membres directs de cette communauté, avec le membre du staff comme
secrétaire, le Chairs n'a fait que constater et pris acte des résultats.

Cet Appel que vous interjetez est une atteinte direct aux droits de tous
ceux qui ont contribué dans le processus de sélection de ces nouveaux
co-chairs.

===English===

Here is yet another tangible proof of the misunderstanding and ignorance of
the basic PDP principles, by some newcomers of this community.

Please, dear newbies, take the time to learn and experience the basics,
before jumping headlong into the discussions with other more experienced
members than you in this community.

Refuse to be the spokespersons of certain brockers, hidden in this
community, who are pulling strings of the manipulation of the young
students in our community.

Fernando was able to demonstrate how the principle of appealing against
decisions taken in the PDP works. Please follow and learn from these
experienced people.

The selection of new co-chairs was a process driven entirely by the direct
members of this community, with the staff member as secretary, the Chair
only  took note of the results.

This Appeal that you are bringing is a direct violation of the rights of
all those who have contributed in the process of selecting these new
co-chairs.

> The following appeal addresses the “fake consensus on the selection of the

> team should serve as secretariat but this team went ahead to selectively

> implement decisions even when there was no consensus.   The board’s

> interference with the matter signifies that the bottom up process no longer

> exists. Therefore, this appeal should serve the Appeal Committee in taking

> into account a very important point, which is the fact that the board has

> no right in declaring consensus.

>

> Based on the Board’s action of declaring consensus on the selection of

> the co-chairs, which is done outside of their prerogatives, it is safe to

> conclude that the declaration of consensus is illegal as it is not within

> the prescribed power and prerogatives of the Board of Directors. The Board

> of Directors should have referred to and comply with the stipulated terms

> of the AFRINIC’s constitution and the CPM and ensure that any action that

> is taken by the Board of Directors is done consistently and in compliance

> with the stipulated terms of the AFRINIC’s Constitution and the CPM, which

> was not the case. The declaration of the consensus by the Board of

> Directors shows that the Board of Directors have acted above and beyond

> their prescribed power and prerogatives.

>

> As for the list of requirements and qualifications imposed by the Policy

> Liaison Team, It is vital to note that they were never stipulated under the

> CPM. By simply adding on a list of requirement and qualification proves

> that the Policy Liaison Team have acted arbitrarily and with blatant

> disregard to the terms and procedures which are clearly stipulated under

> the CPM.

>

> Based on the above, I urge the Appeal committee to look into this serious

> matter and resolve this appeal by standing with what is right.
