[rpd] APNIC presentation prop-118

[David Hilario]

Hi Seun,

Thank you for your comments.

I just reviewed the video:

Actually mine was the one with lowest amount of reaction, at around 20,
while to previous proposal got around 30 reactions (I just quickly browsed
through and may have missed the part with more support for me).


But the amounts are not important, policy making has never been a vote
within our communities, the tool is good to give an idea of a general
feeling of the participants during a live session, really especially good
for the ones who do not speak English, but at the same time, it doesn't
offer the opportunity to argument an objection, it is imperative that
objections are accompanied with a reason or argument as to why the policy
proposal is bad or broken so that the proposer can rework the policy text
and eventually address the objections or simply drop the proposal
altogether.

One well documented objection is worth more than one thousand empty +1
support.
And it should always be like that.

This is one of the dynamics that I love in the AFRINIC community btw, where
arguments are made and the proposer can quickly throw in a new and updated
version online to address those arguments.

I will prepare something for AFRINIC, so it can at least get discussed and
reviewed to weight in the pros and cons of a potential implementation of a
"no need" based transfers.

As I mentioned earlier it is done at RIPE already and it didn't have any
negative impact over there.
