I have also noted more violations of the PDP by Co-Chairs from the last meeting.
<br>
<br>
Section 3.4.3 of pdp says: “<b>The Last Call period shall be at least two weeks</b>."<br>
<br>
The Co-Chairs did not follow this and did not specify the duration of the last call for the proposals going to the last call.<br>
<br>
Furthermore, which documents are to be discussed at this unspecified last call? <br>
<br>
Why this rush? This abuse of the PDP must stop.<br>

<div dir="auto">Dear Co-chairs and WG </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
During the AFRINIC-32 PPM which was held last week, the proceedings and decisions made by cochairs, raised many concerns. Below are some of them.<br>
The video of the meeting is publicly available.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Concern-1 objections management<br>
————</b><br>
cochairs chose some objections raised and even not-raised, did not say why comments and explanations provided by authors and the participants on the raised and discussed issues were unsatisfactory.
<br>
<br>
Few examples<br>
<br>
⁃ Abuse contact proposal<br>
<br>
The valid and unresolved objections according to co-chairs decisions were:<br>
• Definition of abuse<br>
• GDPR compliance <br>
• Impact of legacy resources<br>
<br>
<br>
⁃ RPKI ROAs for Unallocated and Unassigned AFRINIC Address Spaces <br>
<br>
The valid and unresolved objections according to cochairs were:<br>
• AS0 ROA validity<br>
• Certain fear in the community that this proposal may help staff reclaim resources if members failed to pay membership fees.<br>
• Lack of a certain mitigation provision APNIC has in their policy<br>
<br>
-WG guidelines and procedures<br>
<br>
The valid and unresolved objections according to cochairs were:<br>
<br>
• the proposed appointment of cochairs by consensus will create more problems for this community.
<br>
• Cochairs should not have hands in consensus <br>
• also Board interference.<br>
<br>
⁃ Inter-RIR transfer proposals <br>
<br>
On the 3 proposals being discussed <br>
<br>
Cochairs decided that :<br>
• one is far from reaching consensus as incompatible with ARIN as per staff.<br>
• The other 2 are closer</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
<b><br>
Concern-2 fairness in the proceeding <br>
——————————————————</b><br>
• When rendering their decisions and contrary to what was announced, Cochairs did not question all authors of transfer policy proposals showing bias<br>
<br>
• Staff’s demand to the WG to allow them to request official compatibility analysis on each of the proposals from other RIRs was denied
<br>
<br>
• Authors were not even given chance to respond to the point with ARIN <br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Concern-3 unilateral decisions by cochairs<br>
————————————————————</b><br>
• cochairs decided that Afrinic service region need an inter-RIR transfer policy as matter as urgency and can’t wait anymore
<br>
<br>
• Cochairs decided that among the 3 proposals, the one which aims to establish an efficient and business-friendly mechanism to allow a number of resources to be transferred from/to other regions, should be pushed forward
<br>
<br>
• Cochairs refused to consider the issues and the implementation challenges raised by the staff impact assessment on proposal<br>
<br>
• Cochairs decided on which amendments should be made to the selected proposal for it to move forward.<br>
<br>
1- Add 12 months delay for a source to be eligible to receive allocation from AFRINIC<br>
<br>
2- Remove clause for legacy status after transfer <br>
<br>
3-Fix clarity on notifications to the other RIRs after the transfer<br>
<br>
It is obvious that 1) contradicts both problem statement and solution of the proposal preferred by cochairs.<br>
<br>
Cochairs appear to be deciding and injecting new issues not previously mentioned in working group. Not following due process of hearing authors and the hurry to decide for working group is unacceptable. The cochairs report must rather provide an open issues
list of outstanding issues for working group to deliberate on. There had been no attempt by cochairs to gauge consensus throughout the meeting. <br>
<br>
In the view of all these violations of the PDP, I urge you to reconsider all decisions made during the last PPM and give chance to the WG to appropriately address the open issues and come to the best conclusions for the region.<br>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">
<span lang="EN-PH">This policy defines consensus. It also proposes that a policy discussed at the PPM does not need to come back for another PPM for the Co-chairs to arrive at a decision. This can help in streamlining the work during the PPM and encourages
people to use the mailing list. </span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">
<span lang="EN-PH">There were lots of irrelevant objections on the mailing list such as someone registering many emails. We believe that this does not matter because rough consensus is not about numbers but quality objections.</span></p>
