    <p>Why all this obsession to let everybody be able to vote at any
      circumstances, despite all the apparent signs of fraud in the pure
      line of political correctness ? Why this will to consider anyone
      indistinctly a stakeholder, even those who may show at ad-hoc
      basis and may have no knowledge at all of the environment and the
      process and allow them to vote in something they barely understand
      about, even if that may be the only participation they may ever
      have in the process ?<br>
      Not everybody should be qualified to vote and allowing it is very
      damaging to the process that it can break it very seriously.</p>
    <p>Participation is very different from being able to vote. There is
      no problem to hear a newcomer's opinion and take it in
      consideration to any discussion, specially if the points raised
      have substance, but that in now way may mean that person is
      entitled to vote straight way just because they showed up. Why
      keep ignoring the July's subscription spike to keep up the
      discourse that anyone should be entitled to vote regardless the
      risks?</p>
    <p>This has the potential to damage the whole process at the point
      that hypothetically any private company having interest in passing
      some policy that benefits only them financially could easily
      conclude that it is worth to sponsor a bunch of people to
      participate in a ad-hoc way of a election meeting just to vote to
      someone as a Co-Chair and never ever to show up anymore. What is
      the sense of it ?<br>
    </p>
    <p>There must be a cut-off date, even if that mean people that
      participate in the past and just returned recently cannot vote.
      This is normal and a strong security mechanism to the whole
      process, otherwise a wide door to fraud will be kept opened just
      because it may look beautiful to have anyone, even those who show
      up once in a life, to vote and be able to decide along with those
      who are really committed to the process. <br>
      The political correctness of considering anyone is entitled to
      vote must never be above the possibility the whole process be
      damaged and the situation get even worse to everybody.</p>
    <p>PS: Having the term extension considered doesn't change anything
      to this all discussion. There must still be a vote for that.<br>

                                we have them. The entire work that is
                                carried out by AFRINIC and others today
                                was previously done by ONE man and I can

                                registration and record-keeping can be
                                carried out by a few individuals.
                                However, we agreed that RIRs should be
                                set up because the internet should be
                                managed as a community resource where
                                all stakeholders would be able to
                                contribute and as mentioned by Jordi in
                                a bottom-up process. It can never be a

                                play when it comes to the process of
                                electing the PDP chair or in the PDP
                                process itself apart from the final

                                previous elections? As AFRINIC ever
                                received a formal petition against any
                                PDP election apart from a few rumbling
                                on the mailing list? As you can see
                                clearly that month before a public
                                meeting we always witness an increase in
                                number? Yes, the number doubled this
                                year, but this year again something
                                happened that has never happened before
                                which is COVID and everyone was at home
                                and Do you know that the number of
                                internet users all over the world grew
                                cos we now all work from home?. I am not
                                trying to say this is the case here but
                                clearly, you cant also say this is not
                                the case. We are only making a guess
                                here and an assumption.  What you have
                                done here lack fairness and would create
                                more division within the community and
                                might even lead to accusation of
                                wrongdoing against the CEO and the board
                                who knows we might also have litigation
                                by those we are trying to
                                disenfranchise. Let me start by saying
                                why did you ask the community about the
                                chair election process? You got the
                                community input and it went back to the
                                board. Was there a consensus by the
                                community? No there was no clear
                                consensus but you and the board decided
                                to go with a suggestion only supported

                                suspicious that some people are working
                                behind the scene?  The fact that what
                                was suggested by a few was adopted is a
                                clear indication of wrongdoing here.  </p>

                                style="margin-left:35.4pt"> I believe
                                the community needs to find a permanent
                                solution if we have a problem, but my
                                humble question to you and the board is
                                that the people that have joined the
                                mailing list in the last six month are
                                they not stakeholders in this community?
                                Even if they have joined to vote as you
                                and the board are suggesting are they
                                still not stakeholders. And according to
                                the rpm "anyone" can contribute and at
                                any time. What makes the person who
                                joined 6 years ago more and has never
                                said a word more qualified than the
                                person who joined 6 days ago? Yes, I
                                think there is a problem there but it is
                                not for you or the board to solve this
                                problem as rightly mentioned by Jordi. 
                                What problem are you trying to solve
                                with the 6 months and other rules set?
                                During the next election, next year are
                                we going to have an 18 months rule?. who
                                says that we would be able to have a
                                face to face meeting next year even if
                                we have a face to face meeting how do we
                                prevent hairdressers from coming in to
                                vote? Or are we going to be changing the
                                process all the time? is that a fair way
                                of dealing with the issue.  Let us be
                                realistic here. is your intention
                                genuine or are we acting a script? Yes,
                                Jordi has a policy proposal but what
                                assurance do we have that the proposal
                                would pass and be implemented before
                                next year.  As far as I am concerned, we
                                need to follow the rules in whatever we
                                do fI not we have giving room for
                                anarchy. The rule you are trying here is
                                divisive and as seen it was rejected by
                                a sizable number of people even thou it
                                might be questionable but we say
                                responses  If we agree to use this rule
                                this time what stops the board from
                                interfering in future elections. We are
                                not looking at the future implication we
                                are only trying to solve a short term
                                problem and leaving behind a long term
                                problem. The problem at hand must be

                                    <br>
                                    Further to its communique issued on
                                    5 August 2020, AFRINIC wishes to
                                    inform its community that following
                                    its announcement regarding the
                                    holding of the Policy Development
                                    Working Group (“PDWG”) Co-Chair and
                                    NRO ASO-AC elections for the year

                                    all responses obtained in respect
                                    thereof.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    Consequently, AFRINIC considers it
                                    appropriate to clarify, for the
                                    benefits of its community, the
                                    following:<br>
                                    <br>
                                    (a)   That the Public Policy Meeting
                                    (“PPM”) is convened by the AFRINIC
                                    Board of Directors pursuant to
                                    the provisions of articles 11.2 and
                                    11.3 of the Bylaws;<br>
                                    <br>
                                    (b)  That in regard to the election
                                    of the PDWG Co-Chair and
                                    notwithstanding the fact same is
                                    held during the PPM, section 3.1 of
                                    the Consolidated Policy Manual
                                    (“CPM”) clearly and in no uncertain
                                    terms provides as follows: -
                                    “Internet number resource policies
                                    are distinctly separate from AFRINIC
                                    general business practices and
                                    procedures. General business
                                    practices and procedures are not

                                    Development Process. <br>
                                    <br>
                                    (c)   That in light of para (b)
                                    above, the election process
                                    applicable to the PDWG Co-Chair
                                    election does not form an integral

                                    determine;<br>
                                    <br>
                                    (d)  That, consistent with the above
                                    and having considered the
                                    exceptional context of the COVID-19
                                    pandemic, the Board of Directors
                                    recently resolved, inter-alia, that
                                    the forthcoming PPM will be held
                                    virtually and has even caused an
                                    Election Process 2020 to be
                                    published applicable to all
                                    elections to be held during the year
                                    2020;<br>

                                    (e)   That in so far as the role of
                                    the PDWG is concerned, the core
                                    responsibility of the latter is to
                                    discuss policy proposals via the
                                    Internet (mailing list) or in person
                                    (during face-to-face PPM). Hence,
                                    since time restrictions
                                    are prevalent for the
                                    policy discussions during the PPM,
                                    rough consensus of policy proposals
                                    is determined during the PPM by
                                    considering both online and on-site
                                    contributions. Final consensus is
                                    decided upon after consideration
                                    of the discussions in the Last Call
                                    period;<br>
                                    <br>
                                    (f)   That the right attributed to
                                    its community to contribute
                                    to policy discussions by either
                                    subscribing to the rpd mailing list
                                    or participating in the discussions
                                    in the upcoming PPM by registering
                                    for and attending the online meeting
                                    is sacrosanct and AFRINIC hereby
                                    renews its commitment that it
                                    will continue to give full effect to
                                    the principles of Policy Development
                                    as stipulated in section 3.2 of the
                                    CPM;<br>
                                    <br>
                                    (g)   That, for the purposes of para
                                    (e) above, subscription to the
                                    AFRINIC rpd mailing list is
                                    considered as a step towards
                                    participation in the PDWG and
                                    AFRINIC undertakes to preserve this
                                    right so that no one who has
                                    recently subscribed to the rpd mail
                                    list will be debarred and/or
                                    ‘disenfranchised’ from
                                    participating in the Policy
                                    Development Process.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    (h)  For purposes of clarity, below
                                    are subscription numbers from
                                    January 2019 to 13 August 2020.<br>
