<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi Noah,<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br>Thank you
for taking the time in creating the criteria. I understand the intent behind
creating such criteria to filter the candidates however I am of the mind that
it would go against the inclusivity principle of the CPM. Without echoing other
people, I do believe that this could become rather elitist in approach, insofar
that it excludes capable volunteers but lacks the finer details you want (volunteers
that are scarce and hard to find, much less the already reduced pool subjected
to stringier filters). <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Another
point to consider is that say, the community says yes to this, but down the
line some misunderstanding and disagreement happen to challenge the “legality”
of this criteria in terms of the CPM (whether or not it is enforceable because
it wasn’t made into policy etc). Even if this goes into a proposal, I think you’d
also find the same objections stated above.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Lastly, the
criteria itself could be questioned. I mean, what is the rationale behind
certain details such as “five years sound technical experience”, or “affiliation
with an entity which is an AFRINIC resource member” – these details can be
construed as kind of inequitable to the co-chair position and those that want
to volunteer.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">TL;DR, I
regrettably oppose this because a.) goes against inclusivity and limits the
already small pool of volunteers, b.) potential “legality” problems down the
line, c.) prejudiced against those who want to volunteer for the position. <span></span></span></p>
