They avoid misinterpretation as they wear also other hats. For Others : " I am Y, ORG A”, “ I am Z, I work for ORG B”. They use ORG for identification. > > > The moment you say everyone without limitation as is stated below, this I > would argue is certainly inclusive of legal entities (human or otherwise), > that wish to participate in that capacity. > If we want this interpretation, we shall make it clear and adopt the appropriate measures to implement it. The WG would need to check authentication / authorization to represent ORG they claim to represent. This would also imply appropriate management of *Conflict of Interest* and *IPR* on the contributions Do we need ORGs views in the PDP beyond the individual active participation ??? > > > Andrew > Merci. --Abel. > > > *From: *abel ELITCHA <[email protected]> > *Date: *Wednesday, 2 November 2016 at 23:33 > *To: *Andrew Alston <[email protected]> > *Cc: *General Discussions of AFRINIC <[email protected]>, > Arnaud AMELINA <[email protected]> > *Subject: *Re: [Community-Discuss] IPv4 depletion in AFRINIC will speed > up IPv6 adoption - myth or fact? > > > > Hello Andrew, > > Comments inline. > > Le 1 nov. 2016 19:34, "Andrew Alston" <[email protected]> a > écrit : > > > > Arnaud, > > > > > > You are right – proxies aren’t allowed at PDP – except in this case, > they are not proxies.
