This question is a followup to Serre's Exercise 3.4.1 on Galois Cohomology. Let $G$ be a profinite group, $1 to P to E to W to 1$ a finite group extension and $fcolon G to W$ a continuous surjection. I want to show the equivalence of the two following properties:



  1. Whenever $P$ is an abelian group killed by $p$ and $E simeq P rtimes W$, there is a surjective lifting $f'colon G to E$ of $f$.

  2. For every open normal subgroup $U$ of $G$, and for any integer $N geq 0$, there exist $z_1,cdots,z_N in H^1(U, mathbbZ/pmathbbZ)$ such that the elements $s(z_i)$ ($s in G/U$, $1 leq i leq N$) are linearly independent over $mathbbZ/pmathbbZ$.


THE ATTEMPTS SO FAR I would guess this has to do with the five-term exact sequence. Also, I'm not sure if the pullback $1 to P to E_f to G to 1$ of the split extension $1 to P to E to W to 1$ also splits (though I would guess so). If this is the case, maybe I can get something out of $H^2(G, P)$.
