We don't make any substantial changes in/after last call. Any "final changes" would be typo's. clearing up language etc. This is not the time to make changes to the core of the policy proposal. And besides: you're not coming up with new arguments. These are the same arguments that you have voiced before. You have been heard in previous phases of the PDP, we seriously considered their merit, extended the review phase (and please stop complaining about not making any textual changes for the extended review phase, as I explained that is the discretion of the working group chairs) to see if there was support for your approach, and reached the conclusion that there wasn't. Your ideas have been heard and seriously considered, but despite that we determined that there is rough consensus to continue with the current version and leave the changes you want for a future policy proposal. In the language of the RFC: we have addressed your objections, but not accommodated them. > , without the need to wait for the concluding phase and then the appeal. No need to wait. You can appeal the decision to declare consensus right now if you think our judgement was wrong. Feel free to do so. I'm confident we made the right decision, but we're human so if you think we made a mistake then let's ask the Working Group Chairs Collective what they decide. As far as I'm concerned reviewing the policy proposal is done. We have rough consensus on the content and have moved to last call. If new objections come up with supporting arguments and they can't be addressed then we will declare lack of consensus at the end of last call. Raising the same objections as before is not going to block consensus in this phase: we already consider those objections addressed. Cheers, Sander
