They should not exist. Asking to be a member is indeed discriminatory. There is no other way to see it. </div><div>A solid understanding of CPM/PDP is essential, but these are basic elements that should not be considered criteria. The other points are simply too strict for a voluntary position. To be clear, I am not saying that long experience is not valuable, but rather than categorizing people, we should look for genuine commitment to serve Afrinic for the better.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Lucilla</div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Il giorno ven 19 feb 2021 alle ore 14:52 Noah <<a href="mailto:noah@neo.co.tz">noah@neo.co.tz</a>> ha scritto:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Hi PDWG participants,</div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr"><br></div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Could we as a WG participants agree on a set of criteria for a WG participant to become a co-chair. </div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr"><br></div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">This I believe is more important and I had shared some few ideas below a separate thread but I think it would make sense to work this out on this new thread.</div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr"><br></div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Some thoughts that crossed my mind as criteria;</div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr"><br></div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr"><div dir="auto" style="font-family:sans-serif">1.
