[rpd] Let us do the right thing

[Taiwo Oye]

Polite notice:
I have missed some previous emails due to my schedule. This mail is written based on the information I have. I am opened to be directed aright. 

Dear all,

Last year:
There was an unexpected vacuum in the chairman position of the PDWG. This lead to a situation defined in section 3.6 of the CPM “varying the process” where laid down principles and guidelines can be distorted based on agreement of the WG. 
This variation gave birth to a brilliant matrix that brought about the selection of the current cochairs. 

To the best of my knowledge, this brilliant matrix wasn’t further discussed and made policy to stand the test of time. Therefore, the matrix should rightfully be trashed after that particular situation. 


This year:
There is a vacuum in the sit of one of the cochairs. This is a normal situation, there is a laid down process for handling this situation. Why are we still using the trashed matrix (pardon my French)


I think the right thing is

- A policy be drafted and discussed to put this matrix to law. (I actually think this matrix is brilliant and will be willing to work with anyone interested to making it law)

- according to guiding laid down procedures. I don’t think this matrix is allowed just yet as a means of selection, election or screening

- therefore. Ithink the NomCom, election committee and the entire afrinic community at large should do the right thing and prepare for a election between the four candidates in Mauritius. 
Ithink this is necessary to avoid a lawless system, set bad precedence and also avoid legal action against afrinic.

Kind regards.

Taiwo
