<div><div dir="auto">Dear all; </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Regarding the the rpd: New Version of Policy Proposal - Update of PDP (Draft-2) - AFPUB-2021-GEN-002-DRAFT02, I want to point out somethings of importance. First, in general the newly proposed version I feel is a longer version of the current version. There is no major modification made here. They are both the same thing just that one is more written out making the other look like a short summary but they both have the same meaning. Similarly, what’s the essence of the additionally 1 week at the end of the last call, in retrospect it means that the length of the last call is 3weeks instead of 2weeks in which every of the pure editorial comments, and other modifications are made. There is no need for the extra 1 week. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Likewise, 3.4.2 Public Policy Meeting and Consensus Determination; the reduction of the announcement of the meeting agenda on the RPD List from 2 weeks to 1 week makes no sense cause it does not give the RPD enough time for discussion and less time to get a better grasp of the meeting’s agenda. In the current version, it states that “no change can be made to the draft policy within one week of the meeting…” but good enough, there is two weeks. The proposed version states the same thing but it only gives a one week provision. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">On the other hand, I personally do not thinking there is a necessity for the 3.4.5 Additional Functions of the AFRINIC Board of Directors. Cause it would be an additional work to both the community and the Board plus giving the board the opportunity to define or make temporary policy change which would last till next PPM might create an issue from it was created to the next PPM.</div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best regards,</div><div dir="auto">Elvis </div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Nov 10, 2021 at 22:11 PDWG Chair <<a href="mailto:vincent@ngundi.me.ke">vincent@ngundi.me.ke</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
