[rpd] Last Call for "AFPUB-2016-GEN-001-DRAFT-04 - Internet Number Resources Review by AFRINIC"

Tue Jul 11 17:29:43 UTC 2017

Omo,

Consensus isn’t determined by the number of objections, it is determined by the lack of a sustained objection which has not been addressed by the community.

While there may only be a few people offering negative feedback, it has been substantive in nature and the issues raised have not been addressed.

Additionally, there have also only been a handful of people expressing support for this policy.

As such, I have made no such misinterpretation as you would have us believe. I have noted that there is a clear sustained objection which has not been addressed and which cannot be addressed except through significant rework of the policy in question. As such, by definition, there is no consensus for last call.

You ask me to let the co-chairs do their job. I find this a rather bizarre request given that what I have done is ASK the co-chairs to do their job.

Owen

There is no reason for last call to be maintained beyond the point where clearly the policy has no consensus as is and will need substantial revision. It only confuses the community.
