<br>
I thank the board for this proposal to setup an appeal committee to fill this old gap.<br>
<br>
It shall be simple and straightforward for the board to fulfil this role directly or through a sub-committee.<br>
<br>
The board is involved in policy process.<br>
<br>
Section 15.3(*) of the bylaws entitles board to determine the guidelines for the allocation of address space to members in line with the member driven Policy Development Process.<br>
<br>
Section 11.4(*) of the same bylaws allows board to adopt policies for the management of Internet Number resources when necessary and urgent.<br>
<br>
Furthermore,<br>
<br>
The current PDP in its section 3.4.4(**), requires board approval for policy proposals which reach consensus before implementation.<br>
<br>
Board decision to approve and reject a proposal is mainly about making sure the PDP has been followed as it shall be. Board decision here is not appealable.<br>
<br>
The board is deeply involved in the policy development and is in good position to fulfill this role of the appeal committee which is about processes, and this, at least until we conclude PDP-BIS discussions.<br>
<br>
But in case, the board persist in considering a external committee, i call the board to appoint people from the AFRINIC Community.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps<br>
<br>
—Alain<br>
