<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I would recommend that we have a "definitions section" in SM's proposal that defines the various variants of "community".</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">> McTim added "anyone" to the list (<br>> <a href="https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/rpd/2010/000871.html">https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/rpd/2010/000871.html</a> ).<br>
> <br>> In the existing PDP, Vincent used "members of the community" in<br>> Section 2.1. According to the terms of reference that would be<br>> "AfriNIC community".</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Yes, that is correct, the clarification is contained in the TOR. But I guess we can make this more clearer in the main PDP document.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">> Section 2.2 uses "member of the community" for<br>> proposals.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">That refers to the global Internet community. Again, we may need to be more explicit in the PDP.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">> Section 2.3 mentions that this mailing list is "open to<br>> anyone from the community".</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Again, that refers to the global Internet community.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">> Section 2.5 uses "before the community<br>> endorses or rejects" for the face to face meeting. That would be<br>> AfriNIC community.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">That would be any member of the global Internet community present at an AfriNIC face-to-face public policy meeting. We don’t want to develop AfriNIC policy in seclusion.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Again, I recommend that we have a "definitions section" in SM's proposal that defines the various variants of "community" and any other relevant definitions.</div>
