[rpd] Question about the current soft landing policy...

[Douglas Onyango]

Hi Andrew, et al,
Thanks for catching this discrepancy. However, as the author of the
Softlanding Policy, in question,  I want to confirm that consensus was
reached on this policy by the PDWG co-chairs in accordance with the process.

I agree with you that updating the history is required to reflect the facts.

Regards,
