[rpd] Fwd: PDWG Co-Chairs Recall Request

[Fernando Frediani]

For quiet a while in PDWG we have pretty much the *same group of people* 
who have been trying hard to force a couple of things into PDWG and 
AfriNic and which fortunately have been failing on all of them. This is 
becoming every day more evident and as much they get turned down on 
their tentative they keep trying in a loophole hoping that at some point 
they will hit something, but fortunately they keep failing on ALL their 
tentatives.

Their way to do things are pretty much static and the very same people 
repeat the same stuff over and over and over again and there are 
occasions where it seems the messages were all drafted by the same 
person. It is too naive from some of them to believe there are much 
community members who don't notice this. Below a list of the stuff this 
same group tried and it shows the links between some of these episodes 
and the type of controversy or even wrong things they keep trying for:

- Tried as much as they could to force the pass of the Inter-RIR 
transfer by all means, one of the most important proposals of the 
existence of AfriNic and which can change A LOT for the RIR.
- Supported the insertion of stuff never discussed in the PDWG at the 
very last minute as "editorial change" to make legacy resources to 
remain legacy, which only benefits those who profit from these business
- Tried everything to keep the disastrous ex Co-chairs that were doing a 
pretty bad job plus having conflicts with community which were 
fortunately recalled later on.
- Opposed as much as they could from new Chairs elections although they 
have tried to put their own candidates on that same selection process 
(some of them with controvert nomination process by member).
- Not satisfied with not being able to have someone from their group as 
Co-Chairs started to disrupt the PDWG and only recognizing Co-Chair 
rules when is convenient.
- Tried to fight hardly against proposals that seem to be concerning to 
certain type of business they seem to support.
- The very same people supported the same appeal to all proposals, 
repeating the very same arguments and almost similar emails written and 
repeated over and over.
- Have sent appeals that have problems in complying with the CPM trying 
at all costs to stop all possible proposals to carry on their natural 
path. A pure dissatisfaction.
- Keep supporting stuff like the usage of African Internet resources out 
of the region in the contrary direction of development of African region 
and the "right" of a member to take away resources out of the rules

And now this unreasonable recall request just adds up to the list about 
show the same static moment.

Honestly, if they have any believe of what they are doing is not being 
noticed by most PDWG participants then they might keep trying because 
they feel they are taking seriously.
No wonder every time they are faced with someone disputing their 
argument they automatically invoke the 'right of freedom' to keep saying 
the same repeating stuff.

Their recent actions on both the last policy meeting and the RPD list have proved their inability to effectively perform their duties to comply with the process and address the concerns expressed on certain policies.Therefore, in order to reinstate the stability of the process of the PDWG, we find it necessary to request the recall of the current co-chairs and replace them.Please find attached the document outlining the appropriate justifications and supporting arguments of our demand.
