Dear PDWG,<br>
<br>
We would like to thank you for your active participation in the
discussions and support of our individual policy proposals PDP
Working Group Guidelines and Procedures AFPUB-2020-GEN-002-DRAFT06
and Update of PDP AFPUB-2021-GEN-002-DRAFT03. Each proposal
reached rough consensus at the end of the AFRINIC-35 PPM in June
2022 and is now awaiting the PDWG Chairs' decision. We, the
authors of both proposals, have looked at how both proposals
merged together will fit into the Consolidated Policy Manual and
find some implementation concerns. Consequently, we feel that
instead of the proposals following the PDP and being sent to the
AFRINIC Board for ratification, as authors, we can work together
and propose a joint version that will address the implementation
concerns.<br>
<br>
In the light of the above, we would like to inform the PDWG that
we are withdrawing the proposals "PDP Working Group Guidelines and
Procedures AFPUB-2020-GEN-002-DRAFT06" and "Update of PDP
AFPUB-2021-GEN-002-DRAFT03"<br>
<br>
====<br>
Implementation concerns:<br>
The contents of both proposals will figure in the new CPM version.<br>
<br>
The following concerns are therefore observed:-<br>
1. Several pieces of text in different sections will be duplicated
or become difficult to read. Consequently, there is a need to work
in unification/simplification so that the intent is clear and
unambiguous.<br>
2. In the case of co-chair recall, the 2 proposals conflict in
regard to the number of people needed to support a recall (Section
3.3.4 of the PDP Working Group Guidelines and procedures and
Section 3.5 of the Update of PDP proposal).<br>
<br>
Addressing the concerns above will require the proposals to go
through the PDP again.<br>
<br>
Editorial Changes that may not need to go through the PDP<br>
1. Adjusting the numbering of 3.4.5 Implementation to read 3.4.6
Implementation<br>
2. Consolidation of all sections referring to recall and appeal in
Section 3.5 as long as the text is NOT modified.<br>
<br>
We will work ASAP in a new joined proposal to avoid all those
discrepancies, so it can be ready with sufficient anticipation to
the next PDWG meeting.<br>
<br>
Thanks again for your participation in the process.<br>
<br>
On behalf of the authors of both proposals:<br>
Noah, Alain and Jordi<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
