I think that if suggested changes to a proposal are agreed at the f2f meeting, the rest of the list should get a chance to have their say on the proposal as if it was a new proposal.
(a) IMHO, this would fall under "amendments to new PDP". Seems you might have to propose something to that effect, a policy proposal (amendment?) for that matter.
(b) The last-call is meant to incorporate recommendation/comments made during the f2f meeting.
(c) The current PDP says: <snip>"4. If there is consensus at the open policy meeting, go to step 5 (read last-call) as itemized below. If there is not consensus, step 3 will be repeated until consensus is reached or the policy proposal is abandoned (or withdrawn)"
</snip>There was consensus during the f2f meeting and in line with the current PDP, we should go step 5, which is the last-call.

1. The number of members of the moderator group from the community would be3 instead of 22. The 30 day deadline for the board to ratify the proposal has been removedI would like to see a thorough description of what powers the Board has at this point, listed in the PDP. Do they have the power to disapprove a proposal after Last Call if they disagree with it, or can they only NOT ratify a proposal because the PDP was not followed? As far as removing the 30 day deadline, was this done for administrative reasons (it's hard to get all Board memebrs together at same time within 30 + 15 days of a f2f meeting perhaps). Removing the deadline might make it possible for the Board NOT to ratify a proposal for months or even years, no? Can someone who was in Durban explain it to me? -- Cheers, McTim $ whois -h whois.afrinic.net mctim _______________________________________________ rpd mailing list [email protected] https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/rpd
