Hi Mark

I had not actually paid attention to the responses from opposition side but
after your comment above, I have reviewed the repeative long comments and I
think you are right..

We could be responding to automated bots and this might really waste lots
of PDWG time.

To the PDWG Co-chair,

It appears we have reached a fundamental disagreement.

Supporters of the proposal based on sound reason believe that preventing
the creation of unattributable AS-SET names at source is a proportionate
and necessary step, based on the experience of other RIRs. The problem
statement is clear and backed by a real problem the technical community
seeks to address as defined in the relevant RFC.

The objectors whose comments appears to be AI generated believe the problem
has not been sufficiently justified and risks expanding RIR registry
authority while we all know that APNIC and other RIR have addressed the
issue.

Unless new evidence or arguments emerge, further repetition is unlikely to
change positions esp if its AI generated repeation.

I suggest that as co-chairs you assess whether there is rough consensus
within the PDWG.

Cheers,
