Hi Martin, Can I ask you to expand on your thinking here? What would such a rule accomplish? Why is that a good thing? Are you thinking that the AC doesn't promptly identify when propopals won't reach consensus and thus abandons them late? Two notes: 1. When you have a better way than a draft on the docket, nothing in the PDP prevents a competing policy proposal. The AC could make a hash of managing it, but the process itself offers no obstruction. 2. Many of the steps in the petition process don't depend on the AC acting. For example, a draft policy is eligible for a petition to advance to recommended after it has been active for 90 days, regardless of AC action or inaction. If, for example, you thought the AC was dragging its feet on the IPv6 formula corrections, you could petition that now and give us a good spanking. :) Regards, Bill Herrin _______________________________________________ ARIN-PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
