    <p>Hello Noah</p>
    <p>It sounds a reasonable suggestion.<br>
      I think with at least 1 Co-Chair we can get things keep moving.
      The ideal would be to have two in order to avoid one person taking
      decisions alone.</p>
    <p>I think a good scenario is that we appoint one interim chair and
      with the person in place he/she works towards the selection of the
      second one as a priority.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Now the most important point is: do we have any experienced
      people to volunteer to server at least for some time and help the
      things settle down a bit ? Any names we can consider ?</p>
    <p>Regards<br>
      Fernando<br>

                My personal preference for Interim Chairs' selection: <br>

                • [A] a selection through rough consensus [2] After

                • [B] a selection based on ranking voting [3] if more

                • [C] a selection based on an election (online) as usual
                [1] if more than 2 candidates and discussions stalemate;
                <br>
                • [D] a selection inside a group of selectees based on
                criteria [4] (a long and unnecessary process for
                selecting the interim Chairs); <br>
                • [E] any other possibility? <br>
                <br>
              </p>
              <p>I have no problem with NOMCOM being the selectees in

                <p>With last year, I was quite ecstatic when we ended up
                  with just one volunteer. "Consensus" as such is great.</p>
                <p>However, we technically need one person for three to
                  six months and another for that same period plus one
                  year. I'm wondering whether it might be more sane to
                  extend both of these positions by one year? - or we
                  simply consent to have the same people extended by an
                  additional year each at whenever we have the next
                  AFRINIC meeting?  Alternativly - we could be seen as
                  simply bringing forwards the normal election of
                  Co-Chairs to now(ish) - as we have an urgent need.<br>
                </p>
                <p>We also need to have a system on deciding who is in
                  for a short term and who is in for a longer term.
                  Voting may be the simplest method (as this will all be
                  done remotely).</p>
                <p>Any way - my thoughts.<br>
