I don't think it will be right to make some derogatory remarks with respect to participant's timeline of entry into the discussions. Rather, we should look at the content of discussions and contributions which in this case is very positive. We as a community encourage active participation to bring the best out of Policy development outcomes. A few years ago this platform wasn't that active but the amount of recent comments and participation shows that there is a move in the positive direction.<div><br></div><div>The so called newbies have been giving intelligent contributions therefore telling them to go and read committees archives does not necessarily dictate that they are not well schooled or knowledgeable to engage in the PDP process. </div><div><br><div><br></div><div>Thursday, October 8, 2020, Arnaud AMELINA <<a href="mailto:amelnaud@gmail.com">amelnaud@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">+1.

<p>Gaby please read the PDP correctly and do not confuse people.<br>

<p>The section 3.5.1 of the CPM says "disagrees with the actions
taken by the Chair(s)" not just with declarations made during the
PPM. The Chairs could have changed their decision meanwhile but
unfortunately they haven't done. They have just decided to keep it
and it is "a decision" which by the CPM bound to appeal.<br>

<br>
I can't see how the "Resource Transfer Policy" could have
reached consensus.<br>
I think the co-chairs' prerogative is to declare consensus
on policies, <br>
not general opinions. And "we need an inter-RIR transfer
policy" is a <br>
general opinion, not a policy.<br>
The policy in question still had objections
(non-editorial) before last <br>
call. And it received significant changes during the last
call period <br>
(it is not what last call is meant for).<br>
<br>
Not that I have any interest in the policy itself being
ratified or not. <br>
It shouldn't be done this way.<br>
<br>
Just my 2c.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Sami<br>
