[rpd] Appeal against softlanding-bis declaration of consensus

[Ornella GANKPA]

Hi Dabu,

Please forgive me but I'm surprised to see unknown people with russian
freemail suddenly surface on rpd and have strong views. No offence meant
but we need to ensure we have real people participate in policy development.

I would not want the working group to spend time replying to sockpuppets
so perhaps others know you or could you introduce yourself?

Regards

Honest Ornella GANKPA
