The purpose of this discussion is to reach 'rough consensus'
on this new policy in the RIPE community - not necessarily
just the RIPE NCC members. 

There is no need for everybody to react
on the proposal. The goal is to give everybody a chance
to participate in this discussion in the public
and the assumption
is that if people are not participating that they are
not unhappy about the direction of the discussion 
as it is developing.

For this reason, we posted an interim summary to the list
in order to make sure that everybody is on the same page
on the direction that the discussion is taking right now
as perceived by the chairpeople.

The summary is a very good chance for people who don't
agree with the current direction of the discussion
to voice their concerns and so far we have seen
that indeed some objections have been raised.

What's your opinion on the proposed policy ?!?
Do you have strong objections why this policy should
not go through, but you have suggestions with
improvements that could make the policy 
reasonable in your eyes,
or can you live with it as it is right now - 
but you might still have suggestions for improvement
that we can use for the next version of the policy.

Thanks,

David K.
