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

Mon Jul 17 13:16:19 UTC 2017

Dear Authors, 

Only when procedures and implications are clear to all parties involved can a policy document properly solve a problem. 

We deliberately did not include author responses in the document because the goal is a finished policy document that is self-explanatory (for today and for those coming tomorrow who may not have been party to these discussions). 

We chose to err on the side of caution rather than give room for distraction because this community has in the past chosen to read contributions by co-chairs to active proposal discussions as bias. 

You would recall that co-chairs produced a summary of your earlier draft and made it available to the community for better understanding. We have again done this so that we can move forward objectively. 

The summary document has always been open for comments; A column has also been added for you to insert author responses as comments if you think it would be helpful in improving the proposal. We are happy to see improvements either way. 

Sincerely, 
PDWG Co-Chairs.

Dear Co-Chairs, 

This policy proposal has been on the table since May 2016 and is in its fourth version, taking into account all consensual amendments, and has been presented at 2 PPMs. 

The authors and community have made constant efforts to address all real issues, providing consistent answers to non-valid concerns. It has been proven that not all legal concerns were valid and options for a second legal opinion if needed have been expressed. 

You played no role in getting the issues understood and closed, and did not pay due attention to authors actions showing bias confirmed by not adding authors responses to your summary. 

On the basis of the past and last call discussions, you took no position on the issues, suggested no way forward, and allowed the unnecessary and baseless confrontation to continue. 

We see no reason for the proposal to be returned to list as extending the random class to all members and reverting the 13.3.3.b to the original text does not need another round of discussions outside the last call. 

Your conclusive decision below is therefore unacceptable. We urge you to reconsider it. Failure to do so may cause the authors to appeal the decision. 

Jean-Baptiste (on behalf of the authors)

Dear AFRINIC PDWG Community, 

At the end of the last call period for the policy proposal "AFPUB-2016-GEN-001-DRAFT-04 - Internet Number Resources Review by AFRINIC", while there is support for a review of Internet Number Resources in general, the current text needs improvement to address issues raised. 

The PDWG Co-chairs decision is to hereby return this policy proposal to the mailing list for refinement. 

This is to produce a policy (proposal) that is not subject to misinterpretation or abuse. Mitigations to any valid legal risks to AFRINIC should also be clearly written into the policy proposal. 

To avoid a scenario where some points are skipped, co-chairs have helped break the current draft into line items with (we hope, all of) the pending comments appended. It is expected that further revisions to the proposal follow this piece-by-piece approach. 

If a comment was omitted, please bring it to our notice so it can be added. While it is noted that authors have indeed responded to most of the comments after the PPM, for avoidance of misinterpretation, the last draft document (version 4) is the only consideration. 

The co-chairs' summary document can be found at [ https://goo.gl/NZ4WmV | https://goo.gl/NZ4WmV ] 

Sincerely, 
PDWG Co-Chairs
