<p>1 - So does that mean you are dropping the Chair/vice-Chair and
retaining the current two Co-Chairs - like a number of people
asked you to do, or what?</p>
<p>2 - What do the words "working group" mean? Do you mean "AfriNIC
Community"? If so - please use that more familiar terminology.</p>
<p>3 - Can you please tell the community when last where the two
co-chairs so stuck in making a decision - that effectively - that
was their decision. i.e - the never made a decision? To the best
of my understanding and knowledge, this has never happened but I
may be wrong.<br>
</p>
I was going to add a fourth point but I think what you are really
trying to do is get some discussion going?<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello everyone,
Initiators of the new pdp-bis proposal AFPUB-2017-GEN-002-DRAFT-01
[1], in an effort to improve the policy, are willing to hear from the
working group, about settling the matter around one chair and a
vice-chair compared to the current model of 2 cochairs .
In the current situation, chairs with the same level of responsabilities
can get stuck when making decision towards a policy proposal thus
hindering its progress. Working group discussion moderation by two
independent individuals can be inefficient. This lack of "consensus"
between co-chairs freezes the working group operations as well as the
policy development process
Our proposal aims to settle those issues with one chair who makes the
final decision and a vice chair.
Community might be concerned about giving one single Chair, too much
power. The balance with that is found in stricking deeply the appeal
process to make it as larger as possible and open to anybody at any step
of a policy proposal's life.
During AIS17 in Nairobi, initiators have gathered positive comments from
the floor, some supporting linguistic diversity between Chairs. We're
willing to pursue the debate and bring some new air to the proposal.
Thanks all beforehand for your comments.
Regards
