[address-policy-wg] Decision regarding 2009-08

[Gert Doering gert@localhost]

Dear address policy WG,

one of our policy proposals (2009-08, IPv6 PI assignments for LIRs) has 
reached the end of the "last call" phase, and is now being discussed 
among the chairs of all working groups to decide whether the RIPE policy 
process has been properly followed, and whether consensus has been 
reached.

The APWG chairs have decided that consensus has been reached, but 
the amount of participation from the WG was small enough that this
was a difficult decision.

- at the RIPE meeting, there was support for moving in this direction

- in the discussion and review phases, there were 3 e-mails stating
  explicit support.  One e-mail stated non-support, but that was referring
  to another mail with questions about the proposal, so it was a bit 
  unclear on what exactly the "non-support" referred to.

- during last call phase, there was exactly 1 (one) e-mail on the list,
  and that e-mail was a question regarding the proposal.

We, as the WG chairs, think that the change proposed is useful to have
a more workable policy for "real world" networks.  Thus we have decided
to move forward, even if the amount of participation was a bit low.

In general, we really need to see a few more voices in the various 
phases - otherwise it's really hard to claim consensus.  (Which means 
that we, as the WG chairs, will have to be a bit more proactive in 
getting responses out of YOU...).

regards,

Gert Doering
