<p>Thank you for this <span
style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">Madhvi,</span></p>
<p>I agree with Jordi on this. If we only have one volunteer - no
problem.<br>
If we have two volunteers - then one has to be around for two
years - and I believe a vote is the easiest way to sort this out.</p>
<p>If we have more than two volunteers - then voting again makes
sense.</p>
<p>I would ask that we Ask for nominations, keep the nomination
window open 5 or 7 days (I don't mind either period) and see what
we have after that time period. Take it then from there.</p>
<p>I'd suggest we use the same voting list as was used 9 months ago
- as its already reasonably clean - unless AfriNIC Staff have a
newer and properly vetted list.</p>

within which any new proposals should be submitted to the
