Dear Akinori, No, it does not match my idea of bottom-up. But, again, I don't think that bottom-up is the only way to do things.
For example, in most national parliaments, the members of parliament can propose new laws, and that is bottom-up; but the government can also propose new laws, and that is not bottom-up. Both approaches are valid, so long as the final decision is made democratically, that is with the agreement of representatives of all concerned parties.

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 (2014/10/17 0:48), Richard Hill wrote: 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".

I think each communitys culture and their decision making process should be respected more since we are discussing this topic by bottom up process.

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.

Oct 15, 2014 9:44 AM?Guru Acharya <[email protected]> ??????: 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 conference.apnic.net/data/38/20140917-1100-IANA-Stewardship-Tran sition.txt Further, how will the proposal be coordinated amongst the 5 RIRs at the NRO level?
