<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>

is a quotation from the email sent by AFRINIC LC on 9<sup>th</sup> of
Dec 2020. Going by his fact (supported by the CEO and
Liaison officer) and the fact that we submitted an appeal
against the minority declaration of consensus on the
position of Co-chairs recently, we would like to state
that we currently have no co-chairs and I wonder why some
individuals are parading themselves as the Co-chairs for
this WG.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"calibri",sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"times new roman",serif"> Let
me be clear that until the 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>

am also surprised that Liaison staff and NOMCOM did not
seek nomination for the position of Co-chairs. It is no
longer 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>

I hope the CEO and LC would respond to my email before the
meeting next week so that we don’t find our having to
spend all the time during the policy session during the
AIS on this issue.</span></p>

a way forward, for us to spend our time discussing
policies and not this issue during the upcoming AIS and to
avoid wasting our precious time, I would suggest that we
rectify 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 the meeting. </span></p>
