Hi Daniel, Thanks for taking the time to read the minutes and the draft documents.
Just to clarify: theses two documents will be published as RIPE documents shortly including all the necessary meta data. They will then disappear from the folder marked Draft and Discussion Files. I take your point though that even temporary draft documents should be complete with list of authors etc. Kind regards, Mirjam On Sat, Apr 10, 2021 at 16:52, Daniel Karrenberg <[email protected]> wrote: > On 9 Apr 2021, at 9:37, Mirjam Kuehne wrote: > >> Dear colleagues, >> >> The RIPE Working Group Chairs met in March to discuss recommendations >> for possible changes to the RIPE Policy Development Process. … > > Mirjam, > > Thank you for sharing this meeting summary. > > I have looked at > https://www.ripe.net/publications/draft-and-discussion-files/review-of-the-ripe-appeals-procedure > . > This is another example of a bad habit we have gotten into.
