Hi Ben,<br>
<br>
Sorry, can?t agree with you this time. Is not about turning down anyone. Is about respecting AUP on each mailing list. Each mailing list has a very specific scope, and this one, exactly the same as in other RIRs, is exclusively for policy discussions. Otherwise, we will have only a single mailing list for everything in each region.<br>
<br>
Allowing a single off-topic, will not allow later on to dismiss other off-topics as it will be discriminatory.<br>
<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have major disagreements here. Speaking from myself, not for my co-authors.<br>
<br>
1) In other regions, having a similar RSA, the board has ratified similar policies (for example, LACNIC).<br>
<br>
2) It is common sense, that the rules must be applied the same to all the members, so setting in a policy those rules and timelines, has the effect not of encroaching anyone, but clearly defining rules in an open and transparent way.<br>
<br>
3) The community has always the right to decide the way rules are to be implemented, what timelines, etc., even for failure to complain with policies, because is only up to the community the right to setup policies.<br>
<br>
Anyway, even with those disagreements in mind, we need to understand if the impact assessment will be positive if we remove this text:<br>
?AFRINIC shall consider that a member is persisting in non-compliance in case more than 3 confirmed violations happen in a 12 months timeframe. This trigger will be reset once there are no policy violations after 12 months?<br>
<br>
Is acceptable to allow the member to resolve the issue as indicated in section 5 of the proposal, with a specific timeline and clearly defined steps, or is that also a problem?<br>
<br>
Or there is anything else that will still be a problem with the current text of the proposal?<br>
<br>
We need to understand that, to avoid wasting time the authors and the community, in new versions that still may not be resolving the issues of the <br>
<br>

> Dear Policy Authors,<br>
> <br>
> We wish to inform you that the AFRINIC Board has not ratified your policy proposal, Policy Compliance Dashboard ID AFPUB-2021-GEN-003-DRAFT02.<br>
> <br>
> This decision was made due to the proposal's potential impact on AFRINIC?s contract management of the Registration Service Agreement (RSA), as highlighted in the legal impact assessment of the proposal.<br>
> As a result, the proposal will be sent back to the RPD mailing list, where it is foreseen to expire in accordance with the Consolidated Policy Manual.<br>
> <br>
> Should you wish to continue with this proposal, we recommend that you:<br>
> Consider the impact assessment provided: Impact Assessment <<a href="https://afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2021-gen-003-d2#impact" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2021-gen-003-d2#impact</a>>.<br>
> Amend the proposal as required, with a focus on Sections 4, 5, and 6.<br>
> Submit the new proposal for discussion.<br>
> <br>
> While the AFRINIC Board has not yet called for a Public Policy Meeting, you have ample time to make refinements and request us, the Policy Liaisons, for support in drafting the proposal. <br>
> <br>
> Thank you for your continuous contribution to the AFRINIC PDP.<br>

> Sincerely<br>
