[rpd] Decisions and summary on policy proposals discussed during the online Policy meetin

Dear Anthony,

I also support the idea of (if needed) working on a different proposal to
discuss and solve problems related to the legacy status.
I see no benefit for Afrinic to force legacy space holders to lose their
status and become a member, it is a simplistic and not efficient way to
manage a more articulate problem. In my opinion, Afrinic should work on
engaging with them, rather than fight them.

Regards,

Lucilla
