co-chairs are doing their duty just as they should . As you mentioned, there is
no way to have a clear border line of what is acceptable and what is not which is
a further reason to start interpreting things in a way that will benefit the

rule. Therefore as long as the CPM did not state that advancing suggestions are
prohibited, it means that The Policy Development Working Group Chairs manage
the PDWG, the PPM , the RPD list, determining consensus as they can also
advance suggestions.</span></p>

arranged since the opposite was not stated in the CPM, and the fact that only
editorial changes have been made in the past years does neither implies nor
implicit that changing or updating the policy (complex policy text changes) is
not acceptable during the last call if such need arises.</span></p>
