[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]

In the Spirit of Law, what is not authorised, is forbidden. Don't fool
people here please. An other waist of time to the  Community . The
Co-chairs selection is over. Now we invite Co-chairs to take the place and
start working, in order to avoid such kind of waist of time. Please, let
move forward.

>> Dear Appeal Committee,

>> AFRINIC team and the Board on the selection of PDWG Co-chairs, made on the

>> RPD mailing list, on April 9th and April 11th.

>> I consider that the actions of the Board of Directors to self-declare

>> consensus over the PDWG matter in selecting the new co-chairs is done

>> outside of their scope of power and prerogatives.

>>

>>

>> *Date of the appeal :* April 19th, 2021

>> (1) 3rd April 2021

>> 11th April 2021

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

>> the co-chairs” declaration, which according to the CPM, cannot be done by

>> anyone else besides the chair. Yes In this situation we agreed that AFRINIC

>> 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.

>>

>>

>>

>> Thank you!

>> Regards,

>> *Emem William*.
