[rpd] PDWG situation without co-chairs

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Hi Paul,

I can't recall about it in any RIR and I believe that I'm participating in all them since around 2001-2002.

Regards,
Jordi

    Dear community,

    I was wondering if the situation that we are in now has already occurred in Afrinic’s PDP history or another RIR. If so, maybe we can learn a thing or two from it, because I honestly feel this discussion isn’t going anywhere and that the opinions are very divided on the matter.

    Regards
    Paul

Who takes care of ensuring a profitable discussion in the list for any policy proposal (and we have many in the table), or even ensuring that there is not any abuse or bad behavior during this period?
