[rpd] Gauging Interest in a possible policy change

[jordi.palet at consulintel.es]

Hi Andrew,

A few years ago, in LACNIC we had similar issues with behaviours against the spirit of the equivalent list to this one.

As I was IETF sergeant at arms for the IETF mailing list, and also participate in many other exploders that have AUPs (Acceptable Usage Policy), I used my experience to design a proposal for LACNIC, you can see the last version here:

https://politicas.lacnic.net/politicas/detail/id/LAC-2018-13/language/en

It took a long time to discuss the proposal, and when it was almost reaching consensus (in my opinion), LACNIC decided to make a CoC which somehow superseddes the AUP.

Nevertheless, I still have encountered feelings if an AUP may be also needed in parallel to the CoC, as the CoC is quite generic while the AUP can provide a ore clear path to co-chairs.

So if you reach the conclusion that this is good to have, I’m happy to work with you/others in that, or feel free to use that proposal as a starting point that was discussed during 3 years in a very similar context. 

Regards,
Jordi
