[rpd] End of LAST call

[Sander Steffann]

Hi Frank & chairs,


> There were no new problems or arguments that were not addresses, during the last call.


I think this is correct. As a community we should listen and try to understand all objections. Once they are addressed (but not necessarily accommodated) they should not block consensus anymore.


> If that is a wrong understanding, we request guidance from the co-chairs as to what the remaining problems are.


It would be useful (at least for proposals which cause much discussion) if the chairs could make a list of raised objections and whether or not they have been addressed (where useful with links to the mailing list archives). That way there is transparency on how their decision was reached.

One example is https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2017-February/011987.html

I do realise this is a lot of work. In the RIPE region we (when I was still a chair) often got help from RIPE NCC. They would help us with making the first draft, and then the chairs would verify that and publish it. It always remains the responsibility of the chairs, but that doesn't mean they have to refuse help :)

Cheers,
Sander
