<p>Arnaud - beautifully written,</p>
<p>(@Daniel - try:- <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://translate.google.com/">https://translate.google.com/</a> )</p>
<p>You capture my sentiment exactly. It has also been shown in the
past that Consensus overrules Elections in the PDP. Case in point
- I was the only person standing - who went through the Election
Process for PDWG Co-Chair election in Dakar - yet was not allowed
to run by the consensus in the room. Not the whole picture - but
Consensus wins.</p>
<p>Also - it's quite stupid (a waste of resources) to have someone
only serve in a position for a month or so. <br>

<div>Courir ou Sauter, l'importance est d'arriver à la bonne
destination, et avec ce qui s'est passé, je suis convaincu que
nous y sommes arrivés, je dis encore félicitation à la
communauté du PDP et bon courage dans leur mission au nouveaux
co-chairs. Vous aimez le principe de vote dans le PDWG parce
que facilement manipulable, non ? Et nous en avons eu les
preuves à maintes reprises, nous sommes une communauté, du
moins à ce que je pense, pas des antagonistes, ni moins des
ennemis, alors pourquoi ne pouvons-nous pas nous entendre pour
régler et faire avancer les choses en regardant l'intérêt de
l'Afrique pas nos propres intérêts? Tu es le seul à toujours
dire qu'on ne s'entend pas, que les gens sont égoïstes, qu'on
est divisé, qu'il n'est pas possible d'obtenir un consensus
entre nous, mais tout ce qui s'est passé ces derniers temps ta
donné tort, alors résous toi à rejoindre le groupe, laisse tes
intérêts personnels et cesses de soutenir les ennemis de
l'Afrique. Merci pour ta compréhension. Si tu t'es senti
offensé alors toutes mes excuses. Mais c'est ce que j'ai sur
le coeur ce beau matin, suite à ton message que je viens de
lire. Bonne journée à toutes et à tous. <br>

<p>Dear All, <br>
</p>
<p>This was what I had warned us about. Attempting to force
the nomination of the co-chairs on permanent basis will
not hold water. That was why I was advocating that we make
whatever we were doing regarding the co-chairs without
election must be temporary.</p>
<p>Truly, we have a petition against the Co-Chairs
eligibility to continue to manage the PWDG. The petition
should have put things on hold, but we carried on as if
nothing.</p>
<p>I want to suggest that we need to pause here and address
the concerns. Else we will be acting contrary to our
believes of openness and transparency.</p>

email sent by AFRINIC LC on 9<sup>th</sup> of Dec

Liaison officer) and the fact that we submitted an
appeal against the minority declaration of

we would like to state that we currently have no

determination of the appeal and until we exhaust
all legal means, AFRINIC Liaison staff are to be
coordinating the WG as the consensus declaration
is “inadmissible”. This is also because this was
the last consensus we had on this issue. I do not
want to believe and would not agree that some
impostors would sit as co-chairs during the
forthcoming policy sessions during AIS '21. I want
to believe that the two gentlemen are just helping
staff and would not be parading themselves as
Co-chairs. I hope the CEO and staff would note
this to prevent a situation where we would have to
begin this argument throughout the meeting.</span></p>

Liaison staff and NOMCOM did not seek nomination

news that one of the co-chairs we unanimously
elected in Uganda for a two-year team should be
finishing his tenure during AIS-21. Therefore, we
are supposed to be having an election during this
meeting. To my surprise, up till now, we don’t
have a call for nomination rather we have two
people illegally calling themselves Co-Chairs
without been elected by the community.</span></p>

the situation now and ask NOMCOM to call for
nomination so that we can move forward. The
Co-chair can be elected at the beginning of the
meeting. I am sure we can reach a consensus on
this and I would be ready to help coordinate this
if liaison staff would be too busy preparing for
