Dear PDWG,

We would like to thank you for your active participation in the 
discussions and support of our individual policy proposals PDP Working 
Group Guidelines and Procedures AFPUB-2020-GEN-002-DRAFT06 and Update of 
PDP AFPUB-2021-GEN-002-DRAFT03. Each proposal reached rough consensus at 
the end of the AFRINIC-35 PPM in June 2022 and is now awaiting the PDWG 
Chairs' decision. We, the authors of both proposals, have looked at how 
both proposals merged together will fit into the Consolidated Policy 
Manual and find some implementation concerns. Consequently, we feel that 
instead of the proposals following the PDP and being sent to the AFRINIC 
Board for ratification, as authors, we can work together and propose a 
joint version that will address the implementation concerns.

In the light of the above, we would like to inform the PDWG that we are 
withdrawing the proposals "PDP Working Group Guidelines and Procedures 
AFPUB-2020-GEN-002-DRAFT06" and "Update of PDP AFPUB-2021-GEN-002-DRAFT03"

====
Implementation concerns:
The contents of both proposals will figure in the new CPM version.

The following concerns are therefore observed:-
1. Several pieces of text in different sections will be duplicated or 
become difficult to read. Consequently, there is a need to work in 
unification/simplification so that the intent is clear and unambiguous.
2. In the case of co-chair recall, the 2 proposals conflict in regard to 
the number of people needed to support a recall (Section 3.3.4 of the 
PDP Working Group Guidelines and procedures and Section 3.5 of the 
Update of PDP proposal).

Addressing the concerns above will require the proposals to go through 
the PDP again.

Editorial Changes that may not need to go through the PDP
1. Adjusting the numbering of 3.4.5 Implementation to read 3.4.6 
Implementation
2. Consolidation of all sections referring to recall and appeal in 
Section 3.5 as long as the text is NOT modified.

We will work ASAP in a new joined proposal to avoid all those 
discrepancies, so it can be ready with sufficient anticipation to the 
next PDWG meeting.

Thanks again for your participation in the process.

On behalf of the authors of both proposals:
Noah, Alain and Jordi
