[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 discussion of a policy, you said publicly that  if there
was a consensus, you would advise the board not to ratify it.
So, If the consesus was get in this polcy, what will be your opinion to the
board?
Regards.
Ali of Comoros.
