Dear colleagues, The deadline for comments for the revised PDP documents was set to Friday this week (27 May). Considering that we all have a lot to follow-up with after RIPE 84 and that there is a holiday tomorrow in some countries, I would like to extend the deadline to Monday, 30 May 2022 before 06:00 UTC.
Please let us know what you think so we can understand whether the revised version enjoys community consensus. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE Chair On 29/04/2022 14:15, Mirjam Kuehne wrote: > Dear colleagues, > > The deadline for comments to the changes we proposed to the revised > Policy Development Process (PDP) document has passed.
