There is no process for appointment through consensus in the current CPM, so I'm not \
sure how you can continue to assert that.

As to eligible voters, are you claiming that there are list members that are not \
eligible to vote?

I'm not sure I understand your meaning here.

The RPD list is an accumulation of those interested in Internet Number resource \
Management. Are you claiming that there are list members who are not affiliated with \
entities operating in the AFRINIC service region?

A vote of the "membership" isn't a compromise, it's every bit as much against the \
rules as any other proposal you've put forward.

No, the contacts of the membership are NOT a good representation, they are a very \
selective subset of the community as defined above and therefore cannot and should \
not be used for this purpose as it would disenfranchise a large number of eligible \
voters.

        The co-chair model is by far the more common model among all the
        RIRs.
        <div class=""><br class="">
        </div>
        <div class="">However, there is one exception and I will say
          that in its region, it has served the community rather well
          throughout the history of that RIR.</div>
        <div class=""><br class="">
        </div>
        <div class="">It's also the region where I have the greatest
          familiarity, now being in my 14th year of service in that

        <div class=""><br class="">

        <div class="">In our region, we have 15 members and they come
          from diverse segments of the community (cloud providers, large
          ISPs, small ISPs, individuals, and more).</div>
        <div class=""><br class="">
        </div>
        <div class="">Being that I have been involved for so long in
          that process at such a deep level, my view may be somewhat
          biased, but if the PDWG wishes to pursue a transition towards
          an Advisory Council structure instead of just 2 co-chairs, I'm
          happy to contribute my knowledge and experience to that
          process.</div>
        <div class=""><br class="">
        </div>
        <div class="">However, this should not be the immediate fix to
          the current situation.</div>
        <div class=""><br class="">
        </div>
        <div class="">The current situation should be resolved in the
          most efficient possible way to achieve a fair and open
          election from the existing participants in the community.</div>
        <div class=""><br class="">
        </div>
        <div class="">Lacking co-chairs to lead the process, I think it
          should probably fall to the election committee to manage the

                            I am baffled that Jordi is already making a

                            <br class="">
                            Hence, the response of Jordi is not tenable
                            here, since I have not seen<span \
class="">&nbsp;</span><br class="">  any declaration that, we don't have
                            co-chairs. I am aware that the Alan<span \

                            &gt; Guys, this is our "problem" as a
                            community. Remember that the board is only
                            helping the community here organizing the
                            elections.<br class="">
                            &gt;<br class="">
                            &gt; Is not the board who choose the
                            candidates and elects them it is our tasks.
                            Remember that without co-chairs, we can't
                            advance with our work. Who takes care of
                            ensuring a profitable discussion in the list
                            for any policy proposal (and we have many in
                            the table), or even ensuring that there is
                            not any abuse or bad behavior during this
                            period?<br class="">
                            &gt;<br class="">
                            &gt; I will like to propose a few ideas and
                            I hope that others also do the same.
                            Remember that this is transition period:<br class="">
                            &gt;<br class="">
                            &gt; 1) Ask the board to choose among
                            previous co-chairs that already have proven
                            experience (and hopefully they accept).<br class="">
                            &gt; 2) Nominate ourselves those previous
                            co-chairs.<br class="">
                            &gt; 3) A combination of both 1 and 2 above
                            (example, board nominates one, the community
                            another).<br class="">
                            &gt; 4) Instead of looking for a temporary
                            replacement, asking the board to organize
                            elections in a maximum of 4-6 weeks, using
                            the same procedure that was prepared for the
                            last time and using the same electoral
                            census.<br class="">

                            a decision, we should try to reach consensus
                            *among us* without co-chairs. I know it
                            seems difficult, but I'm convinced that at
                            difficult times, this community will be able
                            to work together.<br class="">

                            have to say, or if the board already has
                            worked out something, etc.<br class="">
