[rpd] End of Last Call for SL Update and IPv6 PI Clarification Policies

[Dewole Ajao]

Your active contribution to the RPD is appreciated, Sylvain. While not 
holding brief for the current co-chairs && while agreeing that we could 
do better in terms of timely execution, I think that for any number of 
reasons, an earlier announced date could have been missed - especially 
if nobody made comments on the subject matter and/or we all 
forgot/neglected to check on the progress on the list.

As to your concern about someone getting the opportunity to make a late 
comment because he forgot the deadline and the co-chairs did not close 
on the set date, I think you should look at it like this:
If the late comment is reasonable (apart from its late timing) and helps 
us make better policy, this group and its chairs will have to take it 
into consideration regardless of the missed timelines. I believe 
consideration of reasonable inputs should supersede strict timelines.

Regards,

Dewole.
