[rpd] New Proposal Received | Simple PDP Update for the new “Normal” (Draft-1)

[Beatrix Kispal]

As proposed under 3.3. (The Policy Development Working Group): "The Policy
Development Working Group (PDWG) discusses the proposals. Anyone may
participate via the Internet or in person. PDWG work is carried out through
the Resource Policy Discussion (RPD) mailing list (rpd at afrinic.net) and the
AFRINIC Public Policy Meetings (PPM). Any person, participating either in
person or remotely, is considered to be part of the PDWG."



At the case of ‘anyone’ participating via the Internet, there is no
plausible way to filter out potentially fake email addresses, therefore the
votes can be easily manipulated and therefore reaching an unfair consensus.

Furthermore, constantly following the mailing list, reading every entry is
extremely time consuming, it requires so much effort and resources
therefore would strongly support to sticking to the old normal and keeping
the Policy Development Process on its own designated day, when all present
participants are present and fully dedicated.





Best wishes,
Beatrix
