Hi Elvis

First: I want to thank you for your great work.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to contribute as I hoped for. I got a new job function after my commitment for our working group.

I try to read your proposal as soon as possible, and give you my feedback.

Best regards, Olaf

Subject: [Apwg-ipv6-papi] policy proposal done?

Hi everyone,

one week has passed since the message below and I have not received any replies back.. no feedback :(

If an other week passes without any feedback, I will contact Emilio and push the policy proposal on my own.

It feels a bit weird to have been working at such a document/proposal for days and not to receive any kind of feedback once the work is done.

cheers,
elvis (a bit sad)
