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

[ALI Hadji Mmadi]

Hi Alan,
I agree with you, and I think it is a message of wisdom and responsibility.
But, In the one of last public discussion of a policy, you said publicly if
there wis a consensus, you would advise the board not to ratify. Would that
be the case if today it was the case?
