Dear Alain, Thank you for your comments. However, I suggest that we move our discussions to the policy proposal by SM.
Please find responses to your queries inline. > Who composes the secretariat. The PDP has no provision for a secretariat. > The excerpt below is lifted from the PDP: "2.1 ... ... The three (3) MG members shall be nominated for a 3-year term. The first for 1 year, the second for 2 years and the third for 3 years. AfriNIC will nominate one of it's staff members to the MG." The policy proposal by SM gives you an opportunity to enhance this if you think it's inadequate. > Generally, the agenda contains: > • Presentation (by authors) and face-to-face discussions on the current > policy proposals in line with the PDP; > • An update of the PDP-MG activities; and, > • An Open Q&A session (AOB). > > > The PDP says nothing about this. When should the agenda be published? > That's been the practice but it can be explicitly documented. > *2. Chair of the Public Policy Meeting > *The AfriNIC Public Policy meetings are chaired by the Chair of the PDP-MG > or one of the other two co-chairs. > What's about meeting minutes? when should them be published about the > meeting ? > These are very good observations and can come in handy in discussions on the policy proposal on the table. > *3. PDP-MG Terms of Reference (TOR) and Elections Procedure > *Please note that the PDP-MG TORs and Elections Procedure were discussed > during the AfriNIC-8 meeting in Rabat. A copy of the same is available at: > http://meeting.afrinic.net/afrinic9/pdp-mg_election.htm > > The PDP does not have a referral to the TOR. So when i read the PDP, i > don't see what details of what the "to moderate and coordinate the policy > development process and discussions" means. > The current proposal presents an opportunity to enhance this and other aspects that may not be well covered. > *4. Proposed Way Forward > *There's no need for a NEW policy proposal. > > Is this a decision? > No, it is a 'proposed way forward'. > Instead, improvements should be made on the current PDP. In this regard, > we recommend that the author of the current policy proposal reviews his > policy proposal to reflect the same. > > > How do we improve the existing PDP other than what the proposal is > trying to do? > By reviewing the current PDP through a policy proposal that _recognises the current policy. The author has concurred with this and has already revised his policy proposal to reflect the same. See below from current policy proposal: "Incentive: It is proposed to _revise the existing policy so that the principles and procedures are documented." > Please note that the current PDP is an improvement of the original PDP. > > ....and if i remember well, this happened through a new proposal. > Ditto above. Regards, Vincent Ngundi *Chair, AfriNIC PDP-MG*
