    <p>In the past, some of the PDWG Co-Chair elections have literally
      happened from beginning to end at the election time of the meeting
      - that is - Candidates volunteered for the position at the
      election meeting. The Meeting can also decide who should have a
      one year and a two year term. May need to do a paper vote rather
      than show of hands to make the event more formal from a numbers
      point of view. This particular election (PDWG CoChair) is the
      least formal of all AfriNIC elections - and that should be fine.</p>
    <p>Candidates should have been involved in the PDP some time in the
      past - perhaps as a (co) author of a policy (at least subscribed
      to RPD and have submitted an e-mail comment at some time) - that
      is - they have shown previous interest in the actual process; and
      preferably those voting should have been involved with AfriNIC for
      at least a year, working for a resource holder or similar.<br>
