Sami, What is rude about that? It is my choice to either respond or not and when I respond. I believe it's your above statement that is rude. I would introduce myself as I have nothing to hide but I can't be intimidated to do that cos no rule says I must SO

<span style="font-size:12pt; font-family:Arial,sans-serif">6. As things stand now, the community cannot agree on who are the members that should vote for the chair. Therefore if we have 1 candidate then no need for an election but if we have more than 1 candidate.
Then ONLY THE CANDIDATES who have signified their intention to be chair should vote among themself and whoever has the highest number of the vote among the candidates is elected by acclamation by the community. They can have two types of election </span></p>

<span style="font-size:12pt; font-family:Arial,sans-serif">A) let each of them rank their choices among themself if no one has the highest number of the first-choice vote then we add the second choice vote then the third choice if needed. That way even if they
all vote for themself as 1st choice candidate there would still be a winner at the end of the day depending on ranking done by all the candidate. Therefore we still have the most prefered among them being selected. </span></p>

<span style="font-size:12pt; font-family:Arial,sans-serif">B) Have an elimination based election the candidate with the lowest number is eliminated, and another round is conducted by all of them until there is a clear winner alternatively if we have two candidates
have a tie then we toss a coin to chose one</span></p>

It takes 5 seconds to sack an employee in the private sector and NOTING would happen execpt that your wife would leave you for another man and your children would call you a useless father and a sparm donor.</p>

<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 2020, it has considered
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;</p>
<p style="margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-left:106.2pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt">[Jordi] This is wrong, and should be corrected. A RIR is only assisting the community in terms of PDP. It is up to the community to decide how this
is done and what the community wants to be done by the RIR. The community can agree that the elections are handled by the AFRINIC board and that the board can delegate into a committee. That’s fine and I think is the correct way, but can’t be imposed to the
community. Those articles should NOT be there. They don’t exist in any other RIR. It is a big mistake. I also fully support, that the PDP *<b>must have</b>* some special provisions to give the board some powers on:</span></p>

</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt">Assist/manage the co-chair elections by means of the PDP decided procedure. If there is not a procedure, this is the community fault and thus the board should be able to decide how to do it.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:142.2pt">3.<span style="font-size:7pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt">Allow an appeal process (by the board or delegated into a committee), but following the PDP, not restricting it.</span></p>

</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt">Ratify policies. Only policies that will clearly damage the RIR membership can’t be ratified and should be returned to the PDP for further discussion.</span></p>

</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt">In emergency situations, adopt a policy *<b>regarding the management of resources</b>* (not the PDP), *<b>which must be brought to the PDP back for the community consensus/endorsement</b>* otherwise must be stopped.</span></p>

<p style="margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-left:106.2pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt">[Jordi] In addition to that, the bylaws are discriminatory and CLEARLY against the ICP-2 and this is a *<b>BIG</b>* irregularity and breach of the
ICANN empowerment assigned to AFRINIC. THIS MUST BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. The section 3 of ICP-2 is clear in many paragraphs in regards to the bottom-up self-governance for setting local policies “accessible to all interested parties”. The bylaws, clearly
contradict the PDP, and that should *<b>not</b>* happen.</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:12pt; margin-left:141.6pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt"><br>
</span><span lang="EN-US">(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

as the co-chairs itself, are part of the PDP. Again, I agree that meanwhile we don’t have in the PDP an explicit procedure, it is just fine to allow the board to assist on that and manage the elections. BUT this should be corrected ASAP by the community.</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:12pt; margin-left:141.6pt"><span lang="EN-US"><br>
(c) That in light of para (b) above, the election process applicable to the PDWG Co-Chair election does not form an integral part of the CPM and is thus a matter for the Board of Directors to determine;</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-left:106.2pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt">[Jordi] I disagree. The chair position is a mandate of the PDP. Just look into other RIRs. Is the community the one that manages that. The board of
each RIR is just delegated by the PDP to do that, as an oversight. And still note that I’m supporting, at the time being, the board decision on the way to do the next elections, but that’s different than confirming that this is a business of the board *<b>unless</b>*
that task is delegated by the community to the board.</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-left:106.2pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:12pt; margin-left:141.6pt"><span lang="EN-US"><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>
<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).
</span>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;</p>
<p style="margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-left:106.2pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt">[Jordi] Fully agree here on the matter of time. It is ridiculous the time that was spent in the PPMs in previous meetings for elections. They should
be from now on, regardless of the pandemic, electronic and open to non-on-site participants. HOWEVER, according to the actual PDP the consensus is determined only, according to the actual PDP “during the PPM”, and that’s why I’ve proposed a PDP change so it
is explicitly clear that also the discussion on the list must be considered for the consensus.</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-left:141.6pt"><span lang="EN-US"><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>
