[Caleb Olumuyiwa Ogundele]

Dear Co-Chairs,

I'm a stickler to rules and procedures and not interested or have a vested
interest. Therefore consider my notes below as advisory to guide your
decision as I do not want to argue for it against.

Aside from providing a context you have given in your earlier email, I must
call your attention to this Latin word  *“no one should be a judge in their
own cause”*. It is one of the cardinal rules of natural justice that no one
should act as a judge a case in which they have a personal (vested)
interest.


Secondly, I wish to refer you to section 3.41. and  3.4.2. of the CPM as
posted below before you invoke sections 3.6 which has lots of ambiguity
which I have noted in my several correspondence on this mailing list.
There  is legal standing of a section of a law or CMP needs to stand as
procedures.

Let me try to clarify with a little LAW 101 classroom explanation based on
the principle of antecedent law.  This simply means *the Nature and
Evolution of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence. is a doctrine of
interpretation where a court  interprets a qualifying clause to refer to
the immediately preceding words or phrases.*
In the light of the above, you must first satisfy the following in this
order BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY CONCENSUS DECISION :

1: Publish on the website which has not been done or referred to in your
email (See CMP section 3.4.1 for advice as seen below)
2.  The draft policy shall be available for review for at least four weeks
before the next Public Policy Meeting.
3: *CONDITIONAL Statement but best practice before any meeting or consensus
decision is made: *The Working Group Chair(s) may request AFRINIC to
provide an analysis (technical, financial, legal or other), of the impact
of the draft policy proposal.
4.  Each policy proposals must be place on an agenda for a PUBLIC MEETING.
(This section must be satisfied before you proceed to interpret section 3.6)
5.  The agenda of the meeting shall be announced on the Resource Policy
Discussion mailing list at least two weeks prior to the meeting. (Are we
having another PPM before the end of this year?)

Please note that my comments are observations and advisory  to enrich out
understanding of the CPM and it's interpretation.

Regards

Caleb Ogundele



Extract of CPM Referenced
=============================================================================

3.4.1 Draft Policy Proposal

During the development of policy, draft versions of the document are made
available for review and comment by publishing them on the AFRINIC website
and posting them to the rpd at afrinic.net mailing list. Each draft policy is
assigned a unique identifier by AFRINIC and the AFRINIC website shall also
contain the version history and the status of all proposals.

The draft policy shall be available for review for at least four weeks
before the next Public Policy Meeting. The author(s) shall make the
necessary changes to the draft policy according to the feedback received.
The Working Group Chair(s) may request AFRINIC to provide an analysis
(technical, financial, legal or other), of the impact of the draft policy
proposal.



3.4.2 Public Policy Meeting

The draft policy is placed on the agenda of an open public policy meeting.
The agenda of the meeting shall be announced on the Resource Policy
Discussion mailing list at least two weeks prior to the meeting. No change
can be made to a draft policy within one week of the meeting. This is so
that a stable version of the draft policy can be considered at the meeting.
