A+ Jordi!
As an academic, most useful educational materials to leraners
community have to be FAIR (findable accessible interoperable and
reusable)!
So selective use of filtered and uncorrect "quoted" opinions have a
flavour of ... project!
Those who say that they come as samaritain to "help" must bear in mind
that AfriNIC community is more agile and smart than they think!
RESPECT! RESPECT! "Shouting is not a act of vitality"!

Actually, I think this is something to be done by Afrinic, with the
help of PDP chairs and policy proposal authors. The goal is not to
convince them about *ANY* policy proposal, just to have more open
time for openly discussing them, and mainly oriented to newcomers,
but not only.
I’ve actually suggested (several times) for the last couple of
years, some of those activities, that I’ve suggested as well in
other RIRs and have been implemented already, with a great success.
Up to now, it has never been done, despite how much I’ve insisted
(staff and co-chairs can confirm that I’ve once and again provided
lots of those ideas).
Here is a copy & paste of an email about that with the staff:
… concrete actions some of the in every meeting:
1) Setting up open sessions for discussion with policy
proposal authors. The idea is that all the authors (willing to
contribute) have a short explanation of each policy proposal (no
slides, a common slide with titles of all policy proposals just for
reference), and they can discuss openly with the participants. There
is not any decision process here.
In order to plan agenda, I suggest doing this after the
session for newcomers and/or sponsored fellows, same meeting room,
so the people don't need to move, make it as easier as possible for
them. In LACNIC we did that on Sunday evening because most of the
folks travel on the morning. Distances and flights aren't the same
in this region, so we should consider that.
2) Setting up specific tables for lunch for the same. Similar
to above, so people with interest or questions about policy
proposal, can sit down with authors to have a more open discussion.
3) Group Dynamics. Take newcomers and other people interested
in the PDP. One morning before the policy-day. Create 3-4 small
groups depending on how many folks participate (may be more if there
are more people, but you need one staff or co-chair for each group),
and each group should work in "understanding" a different policy
proposal, looking for pros-cons, and trying to "develop" consensus
on it and then presenting shortly their results to all the groups.
The idea is that they get used to the process and can bring their
views to the policy day. As the previous ones, this is not a formal
part of the PDP. But in LACNIC has been useful because new people
get engaged in the list and in the mics of the meeting.

Jordi

When anyone present a summary of a policy proposal (which
has been done already by the authors) you’re directly or indirectly
doing your own analysis and arguing for or against based on your
own perspective. This is influencing participants, it can be never
100% unbiassed.

I believe Wafa has provided far much better educational
materials (unbiassed) on the policy development process to all the
newbie's who can parse through and understand through those various
links the origins of AfriNIC and how the entire pdp process works.
If anything, new folks would find the rpd list and its archives
even more educational than a well documented and somewhat misleading
document which is suspect.
I have been party to various working groups that lobby for or
against some policies which is completely fine but the Larus
Foundation approach is on some next level and seriously undermines
the entire pdp process.
