The subject line was wrong. It should have said Version 4. The

At the moment, I don't recall which version you were
following. The changes (see the list version) may help give you
catch up. I suggest reading the entire proposal as the changes may
not be understood without the context.
In general though, I encourage you to carry on with this proposal, as
Thanks, it's unlikely that I will drop the proposal. I haven't
worked on the presentation yet due to lack of time.
I am not convinced that the last revision to our PDP was the best
revision possible. I think it gives the PDP-MG too large a role in
the process.
The current PDP isn't bad. It's workable if there is a strong
community to counter-balance the PDP-MG. Don't read the proposal as
minimizing the responsibilities of the Chair(s). The main problem in
the last revision is the:
"Note: Consensus is defined as general agreement in the group.
It will be the onus of the MG co-chairs to determine whether
there is consensus or not."
I'll quote some text from the RIPE PDP:
"There are a number of points in the PDP at which disputes could
arise. The PDP is designed so that compromises can be made and
genuine consensus achieved."
That draws a better picture of how to come to an agreement (used
loosely) instead of having consensus as "general agreement". Reading
the last revision literally, the PDP-MG does have a large role and
that can have a negative impact on the process.
