The policy proposal relates to today and going forwards. We can't guess what tech will be the most widely used tomorrow. So either we write email into the policy today and change the policy if and when that changes, or we write into the policy something like "One mandatory means of contact must be defined in the ROLE object. This one method will be determined by RIPE community consensus and may be changed in the future if the community consensus prefers an alternative method." The wording is a bit clumsy but more generalised and allows changes to the contact method without a policy update. cheers denis proposal author > > Regards, > > Leo > > -- > > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, get a password reminder, or change > your subscription options, please visit: > https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/db-wg -- To unsubscribe from this mailing list, get a password reminder, or change your subscription options, please visit: https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/db-wg
