<p dir="auto">“Has the proposal demonstrated mandatory naming is the least restrictive solution?" — Yes,</p>
<p dir="auto">"Do you disagree that hierarchical naming authenticates object creation rather than membership accuracy?" — No.</p>
<p dir="auto">These are the specific answers requested.<br>
If you still oppose this proposal, we ask that you engage these answers first — in particular the deployment-coordination asymmetry raised — instead of repeating the original objections without technical substances</p>

<div dir="auto">Dear Ben,
<div dir="auto"><br>
<div dir="auto">Thank you for your response.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br></div>
<div dir="auto">Respectfully, I believe it is more productive to address the arguments themselves than to make assumptions about the people presenting them or the tools they may have used.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br></div>
<div dir="auto">If you believe the objections are technically incorrect, I would appreciate it if you could identify which specific points you disagree with. For example, do you disagree that hierarchical naming authenticates object creation rather than the accuracy of object membership? Or do you believe the proposal has demonstrated that mandatory naming is the least restrictive solution available?</div>
<div dir="auto"><br></div>
<div dir="auto">Those are technical questions that can be examined and debated. Dismissing opposing views as "AI bots" does not, on its own, explain why the arguments are wrong.</div>
<div dir="auto">I believe the PDWG benefits most when participants engage with the substance of each other's reasoning, regardless of how a contribution was drafted.</div>

<div dir="auto">Fundiswa,
<div>But the AI bots opposing the AS-SET policy aren’t making technical arguments. They are just regurgitating and re-using the same script. None of them seem to know or care what an AS-SET is, or what network owners use them for. </div>

<p><strong>Dear PDWG,</strong></p>
<p>I have been following this discussion with interest, and I would like to express my concern about the direction it has taken.</p>
<p>The Policy Development Process should evaluate technical arguments on their merits. Whether a participant drafted a message unaided, received editorial assistance, or used modern writing tools does not determine whether the reasoning is sound. Speculating about authorship instead of addressing the substance risks distracting the Working Group from the policy questions before it.</p>
<p>I am also concerned by suggestions that contributions should be disregarded simply because of assumptions about how they were written. If there are factual or technical errors, they should be identified and discussed. That is how consensus is strengthened.</p>
<p>The questions raised by several participants remain legitimate subjects for technical debate: whether the proposal has demonstrated operational necessity, whether the proposed intervention is proportionate, and whether less restrictive alternatives have been adequately considered.</p>
<p>I therefore encourage all participants to continue engaging with the substance of the proposal while maintaining the respectful and professional standards expected within the PDWG. </p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
<p>Fundiswa Nadia Maseko</p>
