<p>That's a bit sad.</p>
<p>I've been involved in a number of proposals, both some successful
(IPv6 /48, AnyCast) and some not (Inter-regional Transfer - which
I withdrew). I believe that there is a need to re-address some
parts of the Soft Landing Proposal and I'm thick-skinned enough to
give this a try.</p>
<p> I believe that proposals since the Soft landing proposal was
first proposed (and that wasn't a quick task) along with what has
been learned by watching other regions and by some of our own
proposals will allow our community to better shape the Soft
Landing Proposal to something that will allow some limited but
crucial IPv4 resources to last a fare bit longer into the future
for new entrants into this world of Internet Addresses.<br>

<div>Hi everyone.<br>

<div>Though we still have 3 days to go (out of the 7 suggested
by the Co-chairs to hear from the community on their
suggestion),<br>
</div>
<div><br>
As a newbie in the PDP process, I have the impression that
we (community) will not be able to move ahead with this work
as per the wonderful suggestion by co-chairs. If this
wonderful idea was supported by the community, there should
have been someone to take the lead (already).<br>
<br>
In my opinion, since no one from the community has stepped
in to work on a merged policy, I would suggest co-chairs to
just leave this and declare it a dead proposal. There is no
interest in working on a merged proposal given that original
authors were not able to come together and produce something
as we all agreed in Mauritius. This is frustrating and I
hope we take lessons from this experience for the future.<br>

Dear Community<br>
<br>
We thank the co-chairs for the efforts put in managing the
soft landing update’s process incepted by the 2 policy
proposals. We also thank the community for the intensive
discussions and contributions.<br>
<br>
We have contributed to the post-Mauritius initiative from
the co-chairs on this update to the softlanding and remain
available for any further actions required from us.<br>
<br>
We still believe that amending certain aspects of the
current soft landing policy adopted in 2011, is a good
thing to do, despite the time wasted and the fact that
AFRINIC v4 pool showing 1.077 /8 available, which means the
soft landing may be triggered anytime soon.<br>
<br>
We hope that the community has learnt a lot from this
process and consider the main lesson here to be, the
fundamental principle of policies/standards' development,
which is that when a proposal is on the table to address an
issue and has been accepted for discussion, it becomes
community's document, aiming to be improved by the community
up to adoption, rejection or withdrawal.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
