PDP is like law. Law only says what is mandatory and what is forbidden. Anything in the middle is allowed. If law say you may open a bank account and law doesn’t prohibit you to open many bank accounts, then you are allowed to open none, one or as many as you want. In our case PDP say may be requested, but doesn’t prohibit the staff to include in the internal process to do one for each version.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div><div><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'>When PDP does not have provision for something, BCPs can apply or working group consensus may decide on how to proceed.<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div><div><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'>Otherwise , PDP should be revised to cater with what need to change<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div><div><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'>Time to discuss PDP-BIS .<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'><br><br><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>Regards,</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:141.6pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>Jordi</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:141.6pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>@jordipalet</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></blockquote><div><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'> <o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'>-Komi<br><br><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:141.6pt'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><div style='margin-left:70.8pt'><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'>El 10/7/19 11:43, "Arnaud AMELINA" <<a href="mailto:amelnaud@gmail.com"><span style='color:purple'>amelnaud@gmail.com</span></a>> escribió:<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div><div><div style='margin-left:70.8pt'><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'> <o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div><div><div><div style='margin-left:70.8pt'><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'>Hi Jordi,<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div><div><div style='margin-left:70.8pt'><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'> <o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div><div><div><div><div style='margin-left:70.8pt'><div style='margin-left:35.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:70.8pt'>Sometimes you try to complicate simple and easy things and rather complain that everything else is complicated.
