Tout ceci ne fait que me reconforter dans mes opinions sur le PDP, c'est une procédure qui ne peut aboutir qu'à une boucle à cause de la notion lacunaire et floue de consensus mais aussi du fait que chaque étape de la procédure peut être remis en cause par tout détracteur inscrit à la liste de diffusion pouvant poster des avis et commentaires non fondé seulement parcequ'il veut bloquer une proposition qui lui ne convient pas.

When the words of the CEO of afrinic the interpretation you make is totally different from mine. I would also suggest that you review everything that has been said about this proposal at the Lagos meeting in order to understand globally what stage the procedure was. All this only reinforces my opinions on the PDP, it is a procedure that can only lead to a loop because of the incomplete and vague concept of consensus but also because each step of the procedure can be questioned by any detractor on the mailing list who can post notices and comments unfounded only because he wants to block a proposal that does not suit him.
