[rpd] PDWG Co-chairs Update to the Community (#1).

Hello PDWG,

I saw cochairs mentioned rfc 7282....
Are we ready for:


⁃ Consensus is the path not the destination

⁃ Rough consensus is achieved when all issues have been addressed and not
necessary accommodated

⁃ The lack of disagreement is more important than agreement

⁃ 10 people against and 200 people in favor might not be rough consensus

⁃ 200 people against and 10 people in favor might still be rough consensus

Rough consensus and not unanimity or full consensus In discussing and
adopting policies and best practices which are technically sound and serve
the interest of the region.

HTH

> As the community is aware, PDWG decisions are consensus-driven, with the

> intention being to ensure that any objections and/or concerns raised during

> policy discussions are either addressed or resolved adequately. As

> Co-Chairs, we subscribe to RFC 7282 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7282)

> community to read the document.

> We expect to have our initial analysis concluded in the first week of May

> 2021 after which we will engage the community accordingly. This will also

> enable us to progress with the preparations for our next PPM which is

> scheduled for June 2021.

>

> In the meantime, we acknowledge that an appeal has been submitted against

> the confirmation of consensus on our selection as Co-Chairs. The outcome of

> the appeal and deliberations thereafter which inform our work going forward.

>

> We look forward to a better AfriNIC for all of us.

> Best Regards,
