[rpd] New Draft Policy Proposal - Amendment of the PDP Working Group (WG) Guidelines and Procedures AFPUB-2026-GEN-001-DRAFT01.

[Gregoire EHOUMI]

Hi Seun,

It looks like the selection of co-chair by consensus is an established norm at AFRINIC
 
 
https://afrinic.net/afrinic-elections-2026-call-for-candidates
 
3. Two (2) PDP Co-Chairs [consensus-based]
 
https://election.afrinic.net/election-guideline-2026
 
6.3. PDP Co-Chairs Selection
 
6.3.2. It is also established practice that this selection is conducted through a consensus-based process, and participants are therefore expected to adhere to this established norm.


Regards,

Gregoire


> - 3.3.3.3.3 suggests co-chairs will be appointed by consensus, that is an interesting point that i would definitely not support. This can lead to unnecessary subjectivity.
> 
> - I like the expectation of participation from Co-Chair hence 3.3.4 appeals to me as written.
> 
> - Use of shall in 3.3.11 suggests that ratification is the only option for the Board. There should be an option for the Board to provide reasons for not ratifying and that should not be triggered by a petition.
