Hi Owen,
Thanks for your email, brother :-)

...i agree that this time is different than the other;
when the PDWG was leaved without any PDWG's
Chairs to Varying the Process [1].

It's not about a change, it's just a "Pré-Selection"
attempt...through an open discussion.

That's fine! but, again, it's absolutely not actually
about any change in the PDP.

Ok! Let's move forward, as you strongly disagree
to this pré-selection procedure; with reasonable
arguments...imho, the discussion has reached a
point where the PDWG's Chairs should decide what
 they prefer...you know, they have that power [1]
and they are free to use it at this occasion.
__
[1]: "3.6  Varying the Process
The process outlined in this document may vary in
 the case of an emergency. Variance is for use
when a one-time waiving of some provision of this
document is required.

The decision to vary the process is taken by a
Working Group Chair.
There must be an explanation about why the
variance is needed.
The review period, including the Last Call, shall
not be less than four weeks.
If there is consensus, the policy is approved and it
must be presented at the next Public Policy Meeting."

.


Please PDWG Chairs, do you want to use your power [1] to support this
*Pré-Selection* procedure?

Thanks.

Shalom,
--sb.
