policy, and even in the event of you succeeding on appeal, I would question if the board could ever ratify a proposal when sitting on legal advice that clearly states that the proposal would put the organization in jeopardy, and in fact would argue this would
be a direct violation of the directors fiduciary duty (and as such could open them to further legal challenge from their members).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear AFRINIC PDWG Community,<br>
<br>
At the end of the last call period for the policy proposal "AFPUB-2016-GEN-001-DRAFT-04 - Internet Number Resources Review by AFRINIC", while there is support for a review of Internet Number Resources in general, the current text needs improvement to address
issues raised.<br>
<br>
The PDWG Co-chairs decision is to hereby return this policy proposal to the mailing list for refinement.<br>
<br>
This is to produce a policy (proposal) that is not subject to misinterpretation or abuse. Mitigations to any valid legal risks to AFRINIC should also be clearly written into the policy proposal.<br>
<br>
To avoid a scenario where some points are skipped, co-chairs have helped break the current draft into line items with (we hope, all of) the pending comments appended. It is expected that further revisions to the proposal follow this piece-by-piece approach.<br>
<br>
If a comment was omitted, please bring it to our notice so it can be added. While it is noted that authors have indeed responded to most of the comments after the PPM, for avoidance of misinterpretation, the last draft document (version 4) is the only consideration.<br>
<br>
The co-chairs' summary document can be found at <a href="https://goo.gl/NZ4WmV" target="_blank">

Sincerely,<br>
PDWG Co-Chairs<br>
