    <p>Jordi,</p>
    <p>First of all, A lot of thoughts and work went into the summary of
      the discussions that you made. Your contributions and efforts are
      quite appreciated. Merci Beacoup.<br>
    </p>
    Having said that, I have not changed my position since you started
    the Pre co-chair selection coordination, (ie Follow the provisions
    of the CPM, appoint WG Chairs, do not ask the Board to appoint WG
    Chairs) It may not be so popular in terms of how many times it has
    been repeated, but it is consistent with the CPM.<br>
    <p>Regarding the deadline and the transmission you made to the
      Board, the purpose of the deadline was to give an input to the
      Board, supposedly before its meeting, but ... Does the WG need any
      Board action? The answer is NO! Was that a procedural error? YES. 
      Am I complaining now? NO!  Can it be rectified? YES!<br>
    </p>
    <p> </p>
    What is your take on Sylvian's request on the need to follow the CPM
    provisions?<br>
    <p>At some point, you mentioned not having a preference, about the
      probable course of action. Perhaps it is time to reveal your
      preference. Do you agree with following the subsisting provisions
      of the CPM?</p>
    <p>Sunday.<br>

                    <p style="margin-left:35.4pt">Well, the PDP makes it
                      clear that is up to the WG to select the
                      Co-Chairs, no one else (point 3.3). It doesn't
                      have a fallback mechanism or even a point which
                      allows the WG defer that decision to the Board.<br>
                      This is different from when something is not
                      mentioned at all and is considered not covered by
                      current rules.<o:p></o:p></p>
                    <p style="margin-left:35.4pt">So anything different
                      from what is in the PDP right now is a change in
                      the PDP and a change in the PDP can only be done
                      via the due process with rough consensus when we
                      have new Co-Chairs in place. Even if the WG would
                      decide unanimously right now to defer that
                      decision it is something that cannot be done at
                      the present because the current PDP as written
                      forbids it having it clear the only way Co-Chairs
                      can be chosen. <o:p></o:p></p>
                    <p style="margin-left:35.4pt">I keep hoping the
                      Board will organize the elections soon and we will
                      be able to progress in this matter with the
                      natural way which is the WG choosing.<br>
                      Hope also in the next change we have to adjust the
                      PDP we can include the possibility for the Board
                      to be able to select temporary/interim Co-Chairs
                      during unforeseen situation and it is in other
                      RIRs.<o:p></o:p></p>
