> You are right – proxies aren’t allowed at PDP – except in this case, they are not proxies. I am the direct administrative contact for those organisations and hence I speak for each of them, one organisation at a time.<br>
><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Participation in PDP discussions is by individual and not by organization. Hence the direct administrative contact role you have for organizations would be irrelevant in the policy discussions. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p> Section 3.2.1 of the PDP says:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>===================<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Openness<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>All policies are developed in an open forum in which anyone may participate. There are no qualifications for participation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>===================<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>*Co-chairs should correct me if I'm wrong*. <o:p></o:p></p>
