Please be civil Ciprian. This just reads like the standard tactic of throwing mud and hoping it sticks.
Ian From: address-policy-wg [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ciprian Nica Sent: 19 October 2016 12:35 To: Gert Doering <[email protected]> Cc: RIPE Address Policy WG List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [address-policy-wg] 2016-03 New Version and Impact Analysis Published (Locking Down the Final /8 Policy) I think this discussion should not be about the right of the majority or about ignoring the minority. That is nazi thinking. We should discuss and appreciate ideas to their value. But my problem at this point is not with an idea being right or wrong but with the fact that you are not a fair arbitrer. As a WG Chair my opinion is that you should not take sides. Also NCC should not express opinions but implement policies fairly. It's a simple question from a member of the community to one of the WG Chairs: did you abuse the last /8 or not ? Do you consider yourself a neutral arbitrer or not ? Do you consider yourself the one that should be judging others ? Or is it your "job" to shut the voices that are not according to your interests ? What I have expressed are my opinions as objectives as I can. I really don't discriminate and there are many people which I don't like and I can support their ideas, as well as there are many people which I admire and which I can heavily oppose when it's the case. That's what we all shoud do. But you are not one of us, you are the Chair so we have different expectations. Maybe we shouldn't but then what is really your "job" over here ?

Really ? Do you ever judge a statement based on > who is making it and not objectively ? If we introduce a policy that will stop abusive behaviour by a certain minority of the community, *or course* those minority will cry out very loudly that they will oppose the proposal. It would be very surprising to see otherwise. Is it relevant that they are not overly happy with us trying to stop their abusive behaviour? Not very much so. Of course this requires some community agreement on what "abusive" means, so it's very rarely as clear-cut as this. I am not *ignoring* people that turn out to be abusive, violating RIPE DB T&C, or are otherwise being an annoyance - but when the discussion is less than clear cut, arguments that are brought forward in a sensible, well considered and *understandable* way are weighted stronger than yelling...
