<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-RW">Dear PDWG community
members<br>
<br>
The Public Policy Meeting will be on the agenda of the
Africa Internet Summit 2020 (AIS-20) </span><span
lang="EN-US">in</span><span lang="en-RW"> September. One
PDWG co-chair’s term (one year) will end during the Public
Policy Meeting. <br>
<br>
The election process for the PDWG co-chair (please see <a
href="https://www.afrinic.net/policy/development-working-group#election"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.afrinic.net/policy/development-working-group#election</a>
for more details) says that voting shall be by a simple show
of hands. However, this Public Policy meeting shall be held
online.<br>
<br>
We are therefore requesting feedback from the community on
how AFRINIC can best proceed with the election to fill the
vacant seat of one PDP co-chair. We shall be delighted to
receive your proposals for this important matter</span><span
lang="EN-US"> and hope we can have a consensus within a
week.</span><span lang="en-RW"><br>

Chers membres de la communauté du PDWG,<br>
<br>
La réunion de politique publique sera à l'ordre du jour du
Sommet Africain de l'Internet 2020 (AIS-20) qui se tiendra
du 14 au 18 septembre 2020. Le mandat d'un des coprésidents
du PDWG (un an) prendra fin pendant la réunion de politique
publique.<br>
<br>
Le processus d'élection du coprésident du PDWG (voir <a
href="https://www.afrinic.net/policy/development-working-group#election"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.afrinic.net/policy/development-working-group#election</a>
pour plus de détails) prévoit que le vote se fera à main
levée. Toutefois, cette réunion de politique publique se
tiendra en ligne.<br>
<br>
Nous demandons donc à la communauté de nous faire part de
ses commentaires sur la meilleure façon pour AFRINIC de
procéder à l'élection pour pourvoir le siège vacant d'un
coprésident du PDP. Nous serons ravis de recevoir vos
propositions sur cette importante question</span><span
lang="EN-US"> et esperons avoir un consensus dans une
semaine.</span><span lang="en-RW"><br>
