<p class="MsoNormal">While reading your email, I am wondering whether you are really sure of what you are trying to organize. Have you considered the following points?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1 - Mark Elkins is one of the co-authors of the softlanding overhaul
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2- The co-authors of the softlanding-bis proposal which is still in the PDWG track said ".... we are available for any further actions required from us" in their response to your 7 days call.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some thoughts for reflection!!!<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>Dear PDWG,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We appreciate your active discussion regarding the soft landing policy.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is to declare the end of the Seven Days comment period on developing a common proposal according to the points commonly agreed before whether in the RPD or at PPMs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So far we have Mark Elkins and Arsène Tungali as the only volunteers. We hope they can edit the commonly agreed view in a new policy update proposal document and work with other community members including authors of previous proposals that wish to lend
their experience.</div>
<div><br>

Best Regards,</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>It has been suggested to take the points which have consensus on the wide variety and get an editor to come up with a new version if we really do not want the current authors to do it.<br>

<div>The proposal "already in the PDP" (as you put it) deals with a wide variety of areas. That collection of areas has not found consensus. If the authors choose to whittle the proposal down to those areas that the community largely agrees on, the co-chairs
would not need to point out areas that volunteers can adopt and put forward. </div>

<div id="m_4982999129498417818AppleMailSignature">Although proposals (once submitted to the RPD list) are supposed to be owned by the community and not the authors, the current definition/implementation of the AFRINIC PDP does not promote that enough. I stand
to be corrected but I think that is why we find ourselves in this logjam today. </div>

<div>Agreed! So why are you asking for new proposals when there is already one in PDP. Co-chairs need to focus on policy not authors.</div>
