<p>Hello</p>
<p>I think the Appeal is well written, however the appeal is
directed against the Policy Liaison Team and the Board the CPM
Section 3.5 only predicts appeals against the Co-Chais decisions.
From CPM: "<i>A person who disagrees with the <b>actions taken by
the Chair(s)</b> shall discuss the matter with the PDWG
Chair(s) or with the PDWG</i>"<br>
I also don't see that the consensus was taken neither by the
Policy Liaison Team or the Board of Directors, but by the PDWG
itself in the lack of both Co-Chairs.</p>
<p>Therefore I believe this Appeal is not applicable.<br>
Fernando<br>

lang="EN-MY">The
following appeal addresses the “fake consensus on the
selection of the
co-chairs” declaration, which according to the CPM, cannot
be done by anyone
else besides the chair. Yes In this situation we agreed that
AFRINIC team
should serve as secretariat but this team went ahead to
selectively implement decisions
even when there was no consensus. The board’s interference
with the matter
signifies that the bottom up process no longer exists.
Therefore, this appeal
should serve the Appeal Committee in taking into account a
very important
point, which is the fact that the board has no right in
declaring consensus.</span></p>

illegal as it is not
within the prescribed power and prerogatives of the Board of
Directors. The
Board of Directors should have referred to and comply with
the stipulated terms
of the AFRINIC’s constitution and the CPM and ensure that
any action that is
taken by the Board of Directors is done consistently and in
compliance with the
stipulated terms of the AFRINIC’s Constitution and the CPM,
which was not the
case. The declaration of the consensus by the Board of
