Please put me on the right lane. Is the last call period not meant to check if there are still any objections to the policy proposal under discuss? If my postulation is true, then it means if sustained objections are found at this point, then the policy will likely not be sent for ratification by the board. </p><p dir="ltr">If all the above be the case, then was there actually any need for invoking an appeal process at this point? Why didn't we just get further objections to the policy proposed and discuss way forward.
