[rpd] AFRINIC PDWG Co-Chair Selection Timeframe

Dear Arnaud
Why do we need a PDWG, if who matters are resource holders. I will advocate
all other persons vacate the membership of the PDWG and allow the resource
holders do what they like and how they like

However,  if PDWG is a stakeholder arrangement,  then we must give everyone
an equal footing. Let us stop being Hitlers here.

Simply,
Daniel
