[rpd] New Draft Policy Proposal - Update of PDP AFPUB-2026-GEN-005-DRAFT01

[Hytham El-Nakhal]

Dear PDWG,


We have received a new draft policy proposal named "Update of PDP" with ID: AFPUB-2026-GEN-005-DRAFT01.


The proposal contents are published at:
https://www.afrinic.net/afpub-2026-gen-005-draft01


This proposal is an update to the expired proposal with ID: AFPUB-2021-GEN-002-DRAFT03  https://www.afrinic.net/update-of-pdp-draft-3x . The version history of the current proposal will allow you to consult the past versions for reference purposes.


We encourage you to take some time to go through the proposal contents and provide feedback as follows:


  *   a) Do you support or oppose the proposal?

  *   b) If you oppose the proposal, state your reasons.

  *   c) Is there anything in the proposal that is not clear?

  *   d) What changes could be made to this proposal to make it more effective?


Kindly, as a way for better following up and archiving, keep the name and proposal ID in the subject line of your posts.


This proposal impacts Section 3 of the Consolidated Policy Manual and also there is already another proposal that is currently under discussion notably "PDP Working Group Guidelines and Procedures" that impacts the same section. We have therefore requested the AFRINIC Policy Liaisons to undergo an assessment of any overlapping/contradiction areas between the two proposals. We shall revert back to the PDWG and the author of the "Update of PDP" in the coming days.


Regards,
