    <p>Jordi, article 11.4 is completely out of the PDP.</p>
    <p>Even if this exists in the AfriNic bylaws the Board of Directors
      is not authorized by the community to adopting policies without
      the prior consensus of the community. You are preferring something
      that is illegal.</p>
    <p>In the case the Board understands they can do such thing just
      because it is written in the bylaws it has the potential to create
      an unprecedented thing which could lead to ICANN stop recognizing
      AfriNic as a RIR for voiding ICP-2 which states the bottom-up
      self-governance structure for setting local policies. ICP-2 is not
      just for creating a new RIR, but if it was recognized based on
      that it must keep committing to those principles. Even in a urgent
      situation if considered like this, it cannot do based on the
      bylaws as bylaws doesn't regulate bottom-up self-governance and
      cannot go against ICP-2.</p>

                                    Gregoire<o:p></o:p></p>
                                  <p style="margin-left:106.2pt">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:106.2pt">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:106.2pt">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>
