<p>Hi Okoye,</p>
<p>I think you're confusing the concept of democracy and a consensus
based approach.</p>
<p>In a democracy, the majority (or largest individual sub group)
get what they want, irrespective of whether it's right or wrong.
The premise behind a democracy is two-fold: those that we
appointed will action in the form of an autocracy that which they
have pitched in their run-up (failure to do so generally leads to
unrest, and even if they follow exactly that if it's not to the
betterment of the larger group will at least be met with
resistance by the minority), and will stick to exactly that and
not become power hungry, and the larger believe is that the
majority knows best and are right in their believes. Of course
this is an idealogical/philosophical statement, for which there
are many other wordings, the base premise is: the majority rules,
right or wrong. A democracy only works if the elected leaders of
the majority has the best interests of community as a whole at
heart, otherwise it becomes an oppression of minority by the
majority.<br>
</p>
<p>In a consensus based approach, it's more strict, the majority
cannot simply enforce their arbitrary will. But at the same time
the minority can get their way. It's about addressing problems in
such a way that the right thing will happen, irrespective of
emotional influence and state of mind. In some cases we can
delegate to a democratic based decision (ie, vote) *if we so
choose*. As was the original proposal until I filed two motions:</p>
<p>1. That we select two of the three eligible candididates (as per
the criteria that the group have conceded to which eliminated the
other three candidates, and AK based on the fact that he was the
previously recalled chair). AK subsequently pulled out leaving us
with only two eligible candidates, and based on no valid
objections that was raised, they were then on the basis of
consensus elected.</p>
<p>2. That the appointments are made for one and two years
respectively, but there were objections against this, so as I've
got it this was accepted, but this could still potentially be
changed at the PPM such that one term will end during the PPM and
the other will run for a further year.</p>
<p>Against the first item there were (as far as I could tell) no
valid objections, just emotional outbursts, against the latter
there were some "this is a variation of the accepted CPM" which
could be deemed to be valid, and I also conceded that I've got no
objection if this decision is postponed to the PPM, but it does
make things more difficult for the newly elected chairs since
their position going forward is unclear.<br>
</p>
<p>My request is thus in short to not confuse a democracy with a
consensus system(much more strict than a democracy since one
person that raises a *valid* objection against a proposal can stop
the thousand, in theory). But in the same sense, the thousand
cannot stop the one unless they can raise a valid objection.</p>
<p>The PDWG is not a democracy.<br>
</p>
<p>Kind Regards,<br>
Jaco<br>

Dear Community, <br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In my opinion, I believe we should have a chance to appeal
and contest the boards' decisions on the selection of co-chairs.
A democratic government does not function when citizens are
deprived of their right to free speech, protests tec. in the
same vein, we should also have a say in appealing against the
decision made by the board against the co-chairs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, The appeal against the board on the selection of the
co-chairs is valid. Although it is only rational that we look
into this issue and try to assess the situation as it is. This
is because, although the board has acted in carrying out its
duties and that of the co-chairs, I don't feel it is right for
the board to have a consensus regarding the selection of the
co-chairs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In all our doings, we must treat each other's duties and
positions with the utmost respect and do our best to move the
community forward.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you.</div>

<div>It's very simple. Has an appeal been lunched ? The answer
is yes. So let the Appeal Committee do their job. It's
simple.</div>

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>

declaring consensus on the
selection of the co-chairs, which is
done outside of their prerogatives, it
is
safe to conclude that the declaration
of consensus is 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 Directors shows that
the
Board of Directors have acted above
and beyond their prescribed power and
prerogatives.</span></p>
