Additionally, it is not in Afrinic’s mandate to decide or dictate how network holders manage their abuse mailbox. they have the right to determine the type of subjects they can reply and choose the adequate actions to be taken as earlier aforementioned. It also contradicts with internet values, making AFRINIC play the role of the central government.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Elvis <br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jun 4, 2021, at 23:56, PDWG Chair <<a href="mailto:dacostadarwin@gmail.com" class="">dacostadarwin@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><br class=""><div class=""><span id="docs-internal-guid-7b28bb1b-7fff-3178-eb18-f7005349dd2c" class=""><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">Dear PDWG, </span></div><br class=""><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">This is to announce the official start of the last call period for the following policy proposal (in line with the provisions of the CPM):</span></div><br class=""><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">Abuse Contact Policy Update</span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">AFPUB-2018-GEN-001-DRAFT07</span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">URL: </span><a href="https://afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2018-gen-001-d7" style="text-decoration: none;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">https://afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2018-gen-001-d7</span></a></div><br class=""><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">The proposal reached rough consensus at the Public Policy Meeting held 2-3 June 2021 in online format.
