democracy is the father of multistakeholderism as you say, but I
get why you're saying it - it's what we're all being indoctrinated

shoulders. Show them the respect they deserve, please. They've

<blockquote type="cite" class=""><p class="">Hi Okoye,</p><p class="">I think you're confusing the concept of democracy
and a consensus based approach.</p><p class="">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 class="">
</p><p class="">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 class="">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 class="">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 class="">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 class="">
</p><p class="">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 class="">The PDWG is not a democracy.<br class="">

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><p style="margin:0in 0in 12pt;text-align:justify;line-height:150%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif" class=""><span class="">Based
on the Board’s action of</span><span lang="EN-MY" class=""> 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><p style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif" class=""><span lang="EN-MY" class=""> </span></p><div style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span lang="EN-MY" class="">As for the
list of requirements and
qualifications imposed
by the Policy Liaison
Team, It is vital to
note that they were
never stipulated under
the CPM. By simply
adding on a list of
requirement and
qualification proves
that the Policy Liaison
Team have acted
arbitrarily and with
blatant disregard to the
terms and procedures
which are clearly
stipulated under the
CPM.</span></div><p style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif" class=""><span lang="EN-MY" class=""> </span></p><div style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span lang="EN-MY" class="">Based on
the above, I urge the

into this serious matter
and resolve this appeal
by standing with what is
right.</span></div><p style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif" class=""><span lang="EN-MY" class=""> </span></p><div style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span lang="EN-MY" class="">Thank you!</span><span lang="EN-MY" class=""></span></div><p style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif" class=""><span lang="EN-MY" class=""> </span></p>
