Policy makers make policies while lawyers interpret and sometime misinterpret it to back up and suit their argument or case. Additionally, no changes were made to the proposals during the meeting cause in accordance with the CPM Section 3.4.2 “No change can be made to the draft policy within one week of the meeting”. So that statement is vehemently wrong. Nonetheless, editorial changes are welcomed during the last call period. Also, nowhere in the text disapproves or disagrees with editorial changes. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best</div><div class="">ELVIS</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Oct 13, 2020, at 02:50, JORDI PALET MARTINEZ via RPD <<a href="mailto:rpd@afrinic.net" class="">rpd@afrinic.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;" class="">I don’t agree.
