If a majority in a task force can decide to dismiss one of the task force members then a task force will never be diverse.

This is exactly what happened here, a majority of people that know themselves well before the task force decided which task force members they want and which they don't want.

Of course, that task force was only created to prevent my nomination in the next elections, thank you for proving it.

Dear colleagues,

The EB Election Task force has been established on Monday, and it took about
a day to understand that at least half of the TF members prefer not to
be in the same group with Elad Cohen.
It was not clearly stated – we just didn’t have enough time for this –
but everyone was expected to follow the Code of Conduct for RIPE
Meetings. However, Elad clearly said that he is not following the CoC.

The Task Force is expected to produce an useful output for the
Executive Board and to help clarify the RIPE NCC election procedures.
We have a short time to organise several meetings and exchange
opinions. Developing and accepting our own CoC means stealing time
from ourselves. We should be able to behave in a small group without a
rules written in stone. And the Task Force should be a place for a
comfortable work, not for fight and defense. I am sorry that this
wasn’t true in the very beginning of our work.

I would like to prevent resignations from the Task Force. The TF
members should not feel any fears and threats caused by any other TF
member. And all this above and the motion from the TF members for
removal led me to a decision to dismiss Elad Cohen from the RIPE NCC
Executive Board Election Task Force, effective immediately.


With Best Regards,
Sergey Myasoedov
RIPE NCC Executive Board Election Task Force Chair
