[rpd] Policy Compliance Dashboard - Not ratified by AFRINIC Board

[jordi.palet at consulintel.es]

Hi,

I have major disagreements here. Speaking from myself, not for my co-authors.

1) In other regions, having a similar RSA, the board has ratified similar policies (for example, LACNIC).

2) It is common sense, that the rules must be applied the same to all the members, so setting in a policy those rules and timelines, has the effect not of encroaching anyone, but clearly defining rules in an open and transparent way.

3) The community has always the right to decide the way rules are to be implemented, what timelines, etc., even for failure to complain with policies, because is only up to the community the right to setup policies.

Anyway, even with those disagreements in mind, we need to understand if the impact assessment will be positive if we remove this text:
“AFRINIC shall consider that a member is persisting in non-compliance in case more than 3 confirmed violations happen in a 12 months timeframe. This trigger will be reset once there are no policy violations after 12 months”

Is acceptable to allow the member to resolve the issue as indicated in section 5 of the proposal, with a specific timeline and clearly defined steps, or is that also a problem?

Or there is anything else that will still be a problem with the current text of the proposal?

We need to understand that, to avoid wasting time the authors and the community, in new versions that still may not be resolving the issues of the 

Regards,
Jordi
