<p>> >I'm concerned about the delay due to convening a public meeting.</p>
<p>></p>
<p>> We will be happy to have input from the community here, but if</p>
<p>> we take in account the very low participation to policy discussions</p>
<p>> online ... it may not be a good idea to only make decision based on</p>
<p>> online discussions. People seems to be more open to speak at a meeting</p>
<p>> than writing an e-mail.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Taking that we have only two meetings a year, the max latency to a public face-to-face meeting after the 30 days of online discussions is 7 months.</p>
<p>To this we have to add one month (15 days for the last call) and 15 days to get it ractified (my estimation).</p>
<p></p>
<p> So in the worse case, we have 8 months to get a new policy. And yes, this may seem high in case of new technologies like IPv6.</p>
