The "law" is clear, anyone can propose a policy.   THIS is the normal situation.

Do you oppose allowing transfers of resources into the AFRINIC region?
 If so, perhaps you could tell us why?

There is no need to rely on co-chairs, when the text of the PDP is
clear.  Next time a proposal is made, it will also come from the
authors.  It may come from the PDP co-chairs if an effort has been
made to run it by them first.


Best Regards,

McTim
