Also note that the two policies that get 15 minutes, will be presented in a single 30 minutes slot. Single presentation, single discussion. I guess it was showed in the agenda that way to avoid confusing people, instead of:

Changing the order and schedule on the fly can be problematic and disenfranchising for remote participants. Especially those from other timezones who plan to attend only specific discussions due to awkward timing. While I understand the operational necessity to do this on occasion, it should not be considered a general solution.

In fact, IMHO, any resource which is transferred should require that the new owner receive it as non-legacy status. Legacy status is an accident of history, not a privilege to be retained by subsequent registrants.

While I left the two policy proposals grouped together, my comment was more aimed at the first of the two than the second. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

You are right… I conflated this with a proposal of the same or similar title in a different region. Yes, I support this proposal. I apologize for the confusion.
