The "last call" phase has now ended.

Unlike most proposals, there was quite a bit of discussion in Last Call.

After reviewing the messages sent, the chairs have decided that no new 
arguments have been brought up - and repetition of arguments that have 
been discussed and addressed before does not stop consensus, if strong 
support exists otherwise.  It might be a bit more rough than for other 
proposals, but "rough consensus" is good enough.

Thus, the chairs hereby declare consensus on 2014-04.

If you disagree with this decision please contact the working group chairs
(preferably on this public mailing list and otherwise by sending mail to
apwg-chairs at ripe.net). Should that not resolve the problem then you can 
appeal to the WG chairs collective (as per section 4 of ripe-614).

Marco will send the formal announcement from the NCC soon.

regards,

Gert Doering and Sander Steffann
