[rpd] Subject: Re: Policy supremacy

[Diroi Karalis]

Hi Jaco,

Fair question, and I don't think it's an unreasonable one. If the community
wants to explore universal, equally-applied identification for RPD
subscription new and existing alike that's a legitimate policy discussion
to have, on its own track, with its own proposal, safeguards, and debate
about scope (including how far affiliation checks should go, which is a
real privacy question, not a small one).
But that's a separate conversation from the one in front of us. Whatever
happens with KYC in the future, it doesn't change what's needed right now:
Tshepo and Gugu's objections need to be assessed on their merits today, not
shelved pending a policy that doesn't exist yet. Raising the KYC question
is fine, using its absence as a reason to discount their input isn't.
On the AI point. Noted, and fair enough. If anything reads as noise rather
than substance, call it out specifically.

Regards,
Diroi
