I understand your feeling, Richard, but still I believe it is an efficient way to have the proposal from Secretariat who is professionalized to the concerned business to be discussed among the community.

In case of the address policy, we had Secretariat proposals in the beginning, more than a decade ago, but we have been refraining from it for a long time, and fully rely on the proposal from the community. I think it matches to your idea of bottom-up.

Cheers,
Akinori

I guess we have different understandings of "bottom up processes". To me, it means that inputs come from the bottom, meaning the membership, etc. In this case, the input has come from the leadership. There is not necessarily anything wrong with that, and in fact it may even be the best way to proceed, but I does not match my idea of "bottom up".

Best,
Richard

    Acharya,

    But, this is the way which APNIC community chose.
    I think each community's culture and their decision making process
    should be respected more
    since we are discussing this topic by bottom up process.

        I hope you agree that the APNIC Staff Proposal was not
        discussed at all on this mailing list (except the post by Mr
        Wilson informing us about the existence of the
        proposal). Given that the mailing list was created for the
        sole purpose of discussing the proposal, the absence of any
        discussion on the mailing list suggests that something went
        wrong. Or does no discussion (even a +1) mean consensus on the
        mailing list as well?

        Obviously not everyone can physically attend the APNIC
        conference. Even if you may argue consensus was reached at the
        conference, I doubt you can suggest consensus was reached on
        the mailing list.

        I am not pointing fingers. I was just hopeful of seeing a more
        vibrant discussion.

        Maybe you could start another thread on this mailing list
        explaining the proposal in detail and inviting comments from
        the list members.

        Please take this as a constructive suggestion.

            Guru,
            Firstly, I cannot copy and paste the transcript from some
            reason, let me refer videos of each session instead of
            copying the transcript.

            See inline my comment.

            Hi,

            This list (IANAxfer) created by APNIC to discuss the
            number community's response to the ICG RFP has been
            absolutely silent for almost a month. I am curious to
            know the current status of the process in the numbers
            community; and if an alternate medium/list is now being
            used to discuss the transition.

            I'm also curious to know whether the APNIC staff proposal
            presented during APNIC-38 has been accepted as the final
            proposal?

            As I mentinoed in AMM, this draft proposal was accepted by
            APNIC community as starting point of further discussion,
            not the final proposal. Then we will continue the
            discussion on this list until Nov.
            (See around 29:00 in AMM session 3 video
            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8KHOi7C-x8)

            I gather from the transcripts that the APNIC staff
            proposal was met with silence during the conference - and
            that this silence was taken to be as full consensus.

            We discussed it for 38.5mins (you can see it from 35:30 to
            1:14:00 in the video
            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg2Kp6SRhQQ ), so I cannot
            understand why you call it "met with silence".
            Rather, we, APNIC community, had active and health
            discussion, and as a moderator, I am confident we could
            reach to enough level of consensus in APNIC community.
            Also, when I asked community views about second principle
            in draft proposal, Dean said very useful comment, so you
            cannot call it silence in that meaning too. (See at
            1:15:00 in same video)
            Certainly, I didn't ask the consensus by show of hands nor
            voting, but this proposal is NOT a policy proposal for our
            number resources, so we have multiple ways to ask
            community's view, and I am also sure that the way I asked
            the consensus is fully accepted in APNIC community.

            Regards,
            Masato Yamanishi

            Further, how will the proposal be coordinated amongst the
            5 RIRs at the NRO level?

            Thanks,
