By the way, can you tell me, in the networks that you operate, if you repeat some monitoring or other aspects, anything that you repeat periodically just dozens or hundreds of times, do you automate it and set alerts to notify any issue?

Jordi

Hi Marius,



The policy doesn’t change how AFRINIC operate the services, just improve them, and what is more important, tell AFRINIC, “you should automate it as much as possible” and it is in the benefit of the community (which is what is the PDP is for) because it provides automated reports and notifications.



To prove that your point is not necessarily correct, some folks had the opinion, when I presented the M&A proposal in the previous meeting, that it was an “operational” issue. Now you agree with me that it is a policy thing. It all depends on which lenses you look at it, but the point is that the board has the last word. If the board believes it an operational issue, then they will bring back the proposal to the discussion or even suggest that we withdraw it.



Objecting with a personal opinion (“it is operational”) is not a valid objection. Otherwise, anyone can object to *any* policy proposal.



Same with the cost, can you demonstarte what is the cost of doing manually this vs automating it? Just to prove your point. And again note that if the cost were an issue AFRINIC will tell us in the impact analysis “this is going to double our buget, we will need 1.000 more members, or increase the fees to pay for it”, which they didn’t told. They just talked about more resources to develop it (once), which needs to be compensated with the savings once implemented (forever!).



And as I already explained, the implementation can be done step by step, not all the CPM in a single shoot, so the resources can be split across several months or even years.



Last but not least AFRINIC board has to ratify the policy. That’s why cost is not part of the PDP discussion, because the cost is membership, not community and the board can bring back the policy to discussion if the cost is not acceptable for the membership.



Regards,

Jordi

Hi Frank,



Sorry I should have maybe translated it in both languages! Here is my point (Answering to previous messages) :



I oppose this policy for two reasons.



Regarding the nature of this proposal, it's just an operation measure, a decision about how Afrinic operate and provides service. I believe this is not part of our prerogatives and we should focus on actual policies, not deal with Afrinic's services/products. Deciding whether we should transfer or not, how we should proceed with M&A or the election process are policies, this dashboard is a service, not part of internet governance.



Concerning the cost issue, I think contrary to what some have raised, it is very much part of the issue. Rather than saying that it's too costly or that it's absolute cost is too high, it's about a cost/benefits point of view that this policy is not worth it. Benefits are minor or at least not proven to be more than something close to 0 as Afrinic is already doing the job. If the policy was free of our constraint and we just had to tick a box on an app almost no one would oppose it (even if results are 0 it wouldn't cost any time, money, energy), but it's not the case. And opting for a policy that has a cost is also potentially depriving us of another one over time, it's just about avoiding waste in a policy that doesn't have much benefits.



I hope this clarify things?



Thank you for your question, I'll try to send my messages in both languages as possible!



Have an excellent day,



Marius

Hi,

If I understand right (Google translate...), then you say that
- it is not for this PDWG, but AfriNIC staff internally to decide
- given funds, time and practical possibility, you support this to be
done

right?

Thanks,
Frank
