[rpd] Clarifying a few points

[S. Moonesamy]

Dear Policy Development Working Group,

I would like to clarify a few points related to the recent discussions.

   1. I did not receive any email requesting the Board to ratify a policy
      proposal(s).

   2. AFRINIC is accountable to its membership and bound by the laws of
      the jurisdiction in which it operates.

   3. There is an agreement for global policy development [2].  At the
      regional level, there is a policy development process.  I read
      the version [3] which was discussed on this mailing list as a
      refresher.

   4. I noticed a mistake in a "terms of reference" yesterday.  I would
      not have caught it if I only read the emails sent to this mailing
      list.

   5. Did the Policy Development Working Group take the following sentence
      sentence into consideration:

        [AFRINIC] "General business practices and procedures are
        not within the purview of the Policy Development Process."

     If so, what is the reasoning for its decision?

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
