    <p>Folks, all this make sense if we were discussing a policy
      proposal, but reality is that this currently is NOT part of PDP
      and therefore cannot be applied right now, even given the current
      and exceptional scenario we are going through.</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Let's stick to the PDP which currently can give us the following:</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>1) Apply what is currently on section 3.3. Either an extension or
      a an election of a new person can only be decided this way
      currently.<br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>2) Carry on the discussion, progress and ratification of
      AFPUB-2019-GEN-007-DRAFT01 which in my view solves all these
      issues permanently and for not only this but other different
      scenarios.</p>

      <p>I like what Sami (and Jordi and others) have suggested in
        essence.<br>
        <br>
        Use the RPD Mailing list - of active participants.<br>
        <br>
        I believe that if someone participates in the RPD Mailing list -
        they have the right to vote. I further believe there is a very
        low chance that people who have written comments (etc) on the
        RPD Mailing list are robots.<br>
        <br>
        If someone wants to vote - they should ***already*** have
        participated in discussions.<br>
        <br>
        Yes - there should be date based cut-offs - and a level (No of
        postings) of participation.<br>
        <br>
        I personally would like to see this as a permanent move.</p>
