[rpd] Larus foundation and Afrinic PDP

[Owen DeLong]

Confused by your statement that “attempting to influence people’s opinions about policies is an abuse of the PDP.”

As to my opinion of Jordi’s proposal, I think some portions of it have merit, but the devil is in the details. I have no interest in engaging in a public discussion of the finer points on this mater, however, as I have no real dog in that fight. I do not believe that Jordi’s proposal would increase transparency or significantly improve the quality of our fellowship program.
