[rpd] Policy Development Process and Elections

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Hi Ronald,

While I fully agree that it is suspicious and it doesn't look good if you want your inputs to the PDP to be seriously considered, to not have a corporate account and your real name, or introduce yourself, etc., nothing in the PDP of any RIR prevent from participate.

It is even much more suspicious in this list, when we have already previous cases of people impersonating others ... that definitively set a very bad background, unfortunately, and even worse than that, the board decided not to make a legal claim so google is forced to identify the real persona behind that email so we could take, for example, a decision to suspend the real person posting rights or whatever.

By the way, I don't have resources in any RIR, so from your perspective I will not be allowed to participate?

It is true that I work for many customers and many of them have resources in all RIRs, however, that's not the main reason I'm participating. Even if I didn't had customers (as it was the case when I was initially involved), because the PDP is about *global community resources* and by definition the community (when Internet related matters) is anyone interested, I will be still interested in participating.

I participate in many volunteer activities (worldwide) that it looks like I'm not "directly interested", and because I think they are just interesting, I try to contribute if I'm allowed to.

That's said, I also feel very uncomfortable not knowing who I'm speaking to, but not because the process doesn't allow it, but because I think as humans, we prefer to know the "face" of the people (that's why it is important to participate in meetings), and more important, we can better understand the other people positions if we know what is their work and background, etc.

Regards,
Jordi

    What is your real name?

    Where have you worked?  I mean: What companies?

    Where are you working now?

    Can you prove that?

    You are not using your real name and you are posting from a free gmail
    account.  Nobody seems to know who you actually are.

    Where I come from, that's suspicious, especially for someone who is
    trying to influence policy.

    Then what is the point of you being here?

    I do not own any German Shepard dogs.  I therefore do not spend my time
    engaging with organizations that regulate the breeding of German Shepard
    dogs.
