Hi Nishal,
...i'm extending your call to all this -Internet Resources- Policy
Community.

I chose to do exactly this because i use
to observe that this community is more
 to discuss about cases submitted to
 AC (Appeal Committee) than discussing issues
related to DPPs openned to discussions...

...a clear failure on procedure and a
discrimination, probably, due to sort of
ignorance on the Netiquette [1] rules.

On the first quarter of this year 2020, the
cmNOG's community have started a try
to share [2] on best practices, defined by
the Netiquette [1] related to communication
on the Internet, with a focus on mailing lists'
interactions.

...i'm sure that the CPM (or PDP) needs small
clarifications to indicate that the community
should be guided by the Netiquette [1]. I can
help/contribute if someone wants to work on a
DPP...

...this is a side effect of the direct
submissions, permitted by the PDP,
through the mailing list (RPD). Again,
maybe there is at least a possibility to
solve the problem through policy
submission's process : DPP :-/

...i hope that the PDWG's Chairs will catch it very
well this time.
