[rpd] PDP-BIS Follow-up

[Komi Elitcha]

Hi,

PDP-BIS initiators have heard  the concerns on anonymity for policy 
proposals... They  also have heard those who think the option is 
desirable as pdp is more about solving INRs allocation and utilization 
issues through ideas and opinions and not people.

Also a proposal adopted by the working group  becomes a community 
document and the working group decides and manage the lifecycle of the 
proposal...Thus the move from "author" to "initiator"
We encourage more discussions  on this topic and on other aspects of the 
proposal as expressed in Dakar.

Thanks.
