<div dir="ltr"><div dir="auto">Dear PDWG,<div dir="auto"> There are a number of issues with this policy that have been raised and I am surprised that only a few were mentioned in this summary.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I am also surprised that those who were saying reciprocity was an issue with a similar policy are now saying it's no more an issue. I would have gone into the archive but I have better things to do. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Those who drafted this summary are now assuming the role of authors. If you agree that this policy is not reciprocal but it should be implemented with RIRs that it is reciprocal with then can you tell me why other similar policies are not reaching consensus on this same basis?. This is a very dangerous precedence. now policies can be implemented with a group. what a good laugh we are having here.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Please what are we doing differently this time? So editorial changes are now allowed by the same set of people who said no changes is allowed a month before the PPM according to the CPM. Funny enough the same person raising this same issue is one of those who now drafted this so-called summary. </div><div dir="auto">Which version is the version that you are now claiming is reaching a consensus here. Is it the current version before the PPM or the version that the authors have agreed to make editorial changes too. What are these editorial changes? Can you explain them? <b>I hope I get a response to this.</b></div><div dir="auto"> </div><div dir="auto">I see nothing different happing now from what we did. Our template is clearly being used by the same set of people who were shouting then. The only difference is that their will is now being implemented. I knew this was a script all along am not in any way surprised. some people now don't understand what an RIR is. and suddenly we having RIR lessons.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Let us be clear on this, this policy didn't reach a consensus for the simple fact that it is not reciprocal among other reasons. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I know that all opposition to this policy would be ignored became all these are just a formality so I won't waste my time too much on this. The decisions were made a long time ago and this is just a drama. Same with the appeals it is now the same circle of people typical way of doing things, therefore, I can clearly predict the future. Unfortunately, the chair of appeals is someone I respect and like so much hence I would never comment on anything she has a hand in no matter the temptation I would never directly or indirectly disrespect her.</div><div dir="auto"> </div><div dir="auto">Congratulation to Noah and friends, I was thinking you wait and pass this policy at the next ppm but it seems time is running out of time and it has to be done now. Fortunately, I only decided to send this mail because I am not expecting those crazy blackmailing responses from my good friend. He now has a court case to answer too and am sure he would finally get to learn some lessons or maybe I should also consult on how I can press a similar charge. let me quote from ...."the truth is definitely stronger. Always stay on the path of truth :-) "</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div>Let me stop here before I get the puppet card. </div><div><br></div><div>AK</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, 8 Dec 2021, 16:32 PDWG Chair, <<a href="mailto:vincent@ngundi.me.ke" target="_blank">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">

The authors also clarified that incoming transfers of legacy resources will be covered by the AFRINIC RSA as the recipient will have to become a member.</span></p>
