Just for clarity, this is what the PDP says:

> [RIPE-642 section 2.2]
> At the end of the Discussion Phase, the proposer, with the agreement of the 
> WG chair, decides whether the proposal will move to the next phase (Review

So the chairs need to make up their minds about if they can agree with the 
proposer. This involves a lot of manual work (as Gert said: analysing the 
mailing list archives etc) so this takes time. The discussion phase ended on 15 
July. And the four week period that is common for that type of decision hasn't 
expired yet. And even if it had, it says "should be done" not "must be done", 
so if we stick to the definitions of RFC2119 that timeline may be changed if 
circumstances require.

In short: if you're going to be pedantic please read the relevant documents 
first. The discussion phase has ended. The microphones are closed. And give 
your chairs some breathing room to do their (volunteer) jobs properly.

Cheers,
Sander

PS: because I got involved in the discussion and questioned some people's 
statements to keep the discussion honest I am abstaining on any decisions 
regarding this proposal to avoid any semblance of conflict of interest. This 
means Gert is doing all the hard work all by himself...
