<p>I did not say such thing about Africa, please don't make up
stuff.</p>
<p>I said very clearly elections by consensus are not good anywhere.
Why make up stuff to support your argument ?</p>
<p>It is exactly the opposite. "Election" by consensus leaves a
great margin for subjectivity and for fraud while election by vote
eliminates any subjectivity in the process if the process is
auditable.<br>
This is how it's done in many other places and work as expected,
without margin for disputes.<br>
Why have a type of "election" that can only serve for the propose
of margin for fraud and more disputes than the current ones ?</p>
<p>In my view the only fear of election by vote is from those who
may not have them.<br>

<div>Hello<br>
<br>
If we are having all this trouble to
define the next elections probably <br>
because there are multiple people
interested in the next elections, how <br>
can we dream about any consensus ?<br>
<br>
Consensus is for proposals, for a
collaborative improving process that <br>
may take months or even more than an year,
not for electing people.<br>
What is the fear to have a proper vote
process ? 1 person 1 vote and the <br>
candidate with most votes wins and servers
the term. What can go wrong ?<br>
When one is elected with most votes and
there are no signals of fraud <br>
there is no room for disputes and
discussions.<br>
<br>
Qualified people are people who
effectively participate in the <br>
construction of the process, who are truly
part of it and have <br>
commitment to it and not someone who is
just passing in front of the <br>
door once in a lifetime.<br>
<br>
Afrinic PDP doesn't even have yet the
possibility the Board to appoint <br>
interim Co-Chairs when necessary.<br>
