[rpd] RPD : Prolicy proposal "Internet Number Resources review by AFRINIC" informations update

[Marcus K. G. Adomey]

Sander,

"Non-consensus" but  most importantly "consensus" in our context of rough consensus  must be recognised.

We shall also recognise decisions made by those we selected  to decide on consensus and widely use the recourse mechanisms  and only when necessary.

In the case of this proposal, and the archives can remind, if you forgot as, you claim to not have interest  in this proposal, they made several time, decisions  on consensus and we all know what happened.

If this community can not work out a consensual  policy on INRs  review, I wonder what value does it bring in and what is mission and role of AFRINIC.



Marcus

Hi Marcus,

I have no interest in the policy itself. I don't mind if it passes or fails. But I do want to see Afrinic strong in making its own policy, and for that consensus building has to be done properly, non-consensus has to be recognised, and discussions should be about content, not personal.

When I was a working group chair I have had to declare non-consensus on policies that I thought would be good for the community. In a consensus-based community you don't always get the changes you would like through, but that's the way it is. The default is always to stay with the current policy. That can make it difficult to change things, but it also provides a lot of stability.

Cheers,
Sander
