<div dir="ltr">Hi RPD / RPD Chairs,

</div>
<div>I oppose this policy. While I believe that AfriNIC should
endeavor to ensure that meetings do not clash, the reality is
that this is sometimes unavoidable. Furthermore, I stand to
be corrected, but I am unsure if other organisations have such
a policy. Embedding this in our policy manual effectively
relegates AfriNIC to second-class status compared to other
global organisations that do not have similar policies
prohibiting scheduling conflicts with AfriNIC.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Furthermore, there may be times when an emergency policy
meeting needs to be called to address an urgent issue, and
this clause could pose a serious problem in that scenario.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To repeat my stance above, I do not doubt the policy's
intent, and while clashes should obviously be avoided, but I
do not believe that this should be made a rule that restricts
the PDP to the scheduling whims of other organisations.</div>

<div>Thanks</div>
