Hi Sunny, all,

Some of the topics that you mention, have been already resolved in other RIRs, 
as there were similar issues. In fact, I authored a few policy proposals about 
some of them.

In a quick review of your presentation, I see that many of them are really easy 
to resolve. They are not "editorial" in the sense of typos or grammar, but 
inconsistencies among different parts of the policy "manual" and, the most 
important thing, I believe they are non-contentious (so "should not" have 
objections which create lack of consensus, lengthy discussions, etc.). 

For example, in a quick look, some of those that I believe aren't contentious:

0) Overall: Improve definitions, ensure they are in a single section?
1) End-Site vs end-user
2) 5.31, 5.32, 5.3.3 unify?
3) 5.6 and 5.6.1 repetitive, delete last one
4) Utilization vs usage rate
5) Agree with transfers in a single place
6) LIR assignment for their own infrastructure doesn't look as a real need in 
IPv6?
7) 5.2.1 assignment window for LIRs Second Opinion Request
9) I don't think we need IPv6 guidelines ... anymore, having policies and 
guidelines is making it more complex
10) No need for experimental IPv4 resources anymore?
11) ASNs 12.4 vs 13.0 - rewording or clarification needed

We shouldn't make this very complex or take a long time to resolve them. I will 
say that by the next on-line meeting, should be sorted out, at least for those 
issues that aren't contentious.

I just started a document with a proposal for all them. I will try to finish it 
this afternoon.

However, I think if we can circulate in the list each topic, we can "see" if 
anyone is objecting to any of the issues, before making a formal proposal. This 
way we can split the issues in those that are "non-contentious" and those that 
"may have some objections". Even if the APNIC PDP is used to ask questions for 
separate parts of a single proposal, we can make it much easier having ONE 
proposal for the "non-contentious", and then individual proposals for each of 
the "contentious" ones.

We can try to determine if any of the issues is "contentious" by circulating in 
the sig-policy list each of the points. This will only work if the people 
decide to *actively* participate, in such way that for example, every week 
(more or less), from now to the next meeting (actually a couple of months 
before it, at least), so we have a clear view of points to "exclude" from the 
"non-contentious proposal".

*Otherwise*, if people are not willing to contribute actively, we don't waste 
anyone time and I just fire a proposal tomorrow.

Now, while I'm happy to take over this task myself, I will prefer doing this 
with other folks. May be people that never participated in policy proposals 
before and want to take advantage of the experience?

So, I will ask once more: Anyone interested to contribute (you can email me in 
private if you prefer so)?

Regards,
Jordi
