<div class="yiv1607621746WordSection1">
<p class="yiv1607621746MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Hi PDWG Appeal Committee.</span></p>
<p class="yiv1607621746MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="yiv1607621746MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">I am seeking clarification – the appeal process says that any decision of the PDWG co-chairs may be appealed and puts a time frame on launching that appeal.</span></p>
<p class="yiv1607621746MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="yiv1607621746MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">I now need clarification – the decision to put a policy into last call – does the time from decision to put the policy into last call start from the moment of pronouncement in the meeting, or from the official
announcement on the RPD mailing list. That is to say – when is the decision considered taken – and this goes to a very key issue about the validity of decisions taken on the floor of a PDP meeting so the answer to this question is urgent – since if the time
starts ticking from the moment the decision is taken – then time is short to launch the appeal against the decision – and a delay in answering the question by the PDWG Appeal committee cannot be an accepted reason to not accept a late appeal should this situation
arise.</span></p>
<p class="yiv1607621746MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="yiv1607621746MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">The policy actually says – within 2 weeks from public knowledge of the decision – does a pronouncement on the floor constitute public knowledge in a streamed meeting?</span></p>
<p class="yiv1607621746MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="yiv1607621746MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Secondly – I wish the PDWG Appeal committee to comment on what happens to a last call process if the decision to last call is under appeal pending adjudication. I would assume that the last call process would
be suspended and cannot proceed until the adjudication of the appeal has been completed, but I wish to have a formal clarification on this.</span></p>
<p class="yiv1607621746MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="yiv1607621746MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">And with this email – I am also formally announcing my intention to launch a formal appeal with relevant documentation against the decision to move this policy into last call – and I also am formally reserving
my right to appeal against the decision to move the policy past the last call stage should that become necessary – irrespective of the appeal against the last call itself.</span></p>
<p class="yiv1607621746MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="yiv1607621746MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Thanks</span></p>
<p class="yiv1607621746MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></p>
