then fair enough - but that is NOT the case here. I strongly oppose this policy. I have also watched the antics of the people pushing this policy and I think it was extremely rude and totally out of place for one of their party to call someone else in the
room a "visitor" - suggesting that that other person had no rights to be present. The person being subjected to this treatment provided much needed input (and policies) to the Policy Development Process - especially regarding IPv6 - which is our future.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US">While I agree with everything you have said – let us also be pragmatic. This policy is pushed by the same crowd that walked to the microphone and agreed at the
request of the community to drop another policy, and then reneged on it. This policy has been rejected, as has the soft landing policy, over and over again – yet the authors do not give a damn about the will of the community or the good of the community.
Go and watch the videos of the Mauritian policy meeting – you will notice the same people involved in what happened there are involved in this policy as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US">The authors have clearly demonstrated that they care not a whit about what this community wants or believes is good for it, they have demonstrated bad faith,
and shown that the only thing they care about is shoving something through no matter the consequence – and the co-chairs have already shown that they either do not understand the concept of consensus – or simply do not care. Fact is – there is precedent on
co-chairs being overturned on appeal in another RIR – and when it happened – the person who was overturned – ceased to be a co-chair. These co-chairs however are insistent on a path that ignores the consensus process, and seem hell bent on forcing a situation
where they are overturned – yet again – or failing that forcing AfriNIC into an untenable and potentially costly process beyond the appeal process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US">Reality is – there were _<i>no</i>_ substantive changes to this policy from the last time it was rejected – and the objections to the policy that were stated
back then have never been withdrawn, and by lack of changes in the text can be clearly demonstrated to not have been addressed – this flies in the very face of the definition of consensus – the co-chairs however simply do not care.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
