Colleagues Can we all take a deep breath and enjoy that cup of tea Nigel suggested.
I would like to thank people for their support, but also apologise if I have caused a major incident. That was never my intention. I have been a part of this community for a long time. Those of you who have also been around for a while will know that I have an emotive style of writing. I am naturally an emotional person. I have touched on this issue before and no one really picked up on it. So I thought by identifying the problems with one document it would show there is an issue here to be sorted. Incidentally it didn't take me many hours, it took me about 2 months. My concentration levels are not what they used to be :) My goal was to be positive in moving this matter forwards. The problems I have identified can be easily fixed. These documents have been written over a long period of time. Inconsistencies can build up. It is now time for a review. Maybe that should be done by the legal team who then report back to the mailing list or perhaps set up a Task Force to work with the legal team to review the full set of policy and procedure documents and make recommendations. At the end of the exercise we will have a more solid foundation for this industry to move forwards. cheers denis co-chair DB-WG On Tue, 1 Feb 2022 at 15:37, Sander Steffann <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Christian, > > > First of all thanks a lot to Denis for all his work, I imagine it must have > > taken hours. > > We, the board and the NCC will follow up on it and will not just have a > > look at the content itself but also look into how did we end up in this > > situation in the first place. > > We will come back to the mailing list after the legal evaluation is > > conducted and also report on this at the next RIPE Meeting. > > Thank you, this is what I would like to see. > > > Regarding the CoC aspect of this emails, we the board did not read Hans > > Petters comments as shutting down the conversation or policing anyone and > > we would not have allowed that. > > Well, then you the board should read it again...
