<div class=""><p class="">Hello Madhvi<br class="">
Thanks for the details and for the work staff is doing about it.</p><p class="">I want to mention just 2 points about the below:</p><p class="">1 - In the case of online elections 84 days seems like an
eternity. Could not all these timeline periods be improved be
reduced to a maximum of 30 to 45 days ? <br class="">
For example D+30 for Candidate Nomination Period seems too long.
Also 14 days for voting is also too long. 1 week should be more
than enough.<br class=""></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>If you look below the A timeline, you will find the B timeline which compresses to 47 days.</div><div>It depends on consent of the nominating committee which is a reasonable caveat.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Isn’t this exactly what you’re asking for here?</div><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><p class="">
</p><p class="">2 - We MUST find a way to be able to have one person - one vote.
This is fundamental to avoid the PDGW be taken over by certain
specific interests that would have the means to have fake people
to vote twice or more, so we have to have how to guarantee that
not only one person - one vote, but that those who truly
participate can vote, not just anyone that was able to subscribe
to the list recently.</p></div></div></blockquote>I agree. There’s significant overhead in doing so, but there are ways in which AFRINIC can validate that each subscribed email corresponds to a specific unique identified individual and these actions should be taken.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Owen</div><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><p class="">Regards<br class="">

À cet égard, la personne qui remplacera le coprésident sortant ne sera choisie que pour le reste du mandat de ce coprésident rappelé, conformément à la Section 3.3 de la CPM.</span></div>
