Asunto: Re: [sig-policy] prop-126-v001 : PDP Update

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

I am Satoru Tsurumaki from Japan Open Policy Forum.

 

I would like to share key feedback in our community for prop-126,

based on a meeting we organised on 22nd Aug to discuss these proposals.

 

Many supporting opinions were expressed about the point of confirming consensus 
on ML.

 

A question of doubt and concern was expressed, in that it discontinues AMM 
consensus and changes the proposal's deadline.

 

(Consensus on ML)

 - I support to take a consensus confirmation with ML instead of AMM.

 - I support on the point of view that this proposal will expand  the 
opportunities to the remote participant to discussing about proposal.

 - For consensus confirmation in ML, only proposal which reached consensus in 
OPM are eligible and the proposal which not reached consensus are not eligible. 
it is not good to lose the opportunity to state a opinion at the ML about the 
proposal which not reach consensus.

 

Let me clarify this. I’m not suggesting a ML confirmation of the consensus. 
What I suggest is that it is discriminatory to look for consensus ONLY in the 
SIG, because there is many people not able to come to meetings and they are 
part of the community. So, what I’m suggesting is that the consensus should be 
measured in both, the SIG and the ML.

 

(Consensus at AMM)

 - The meaning of taking consensus in AMM is for members to clarify the pros 
and cons about APNIC’s implementation. This is not a simple substitution from 
AMM to ML.

 - In addition to the past, how about added a confirmation of consensus in ML ?

 

Clarification in the AMM is good to have, but not “mandating” the consensus on 
the AMM. If we accept that the consensus can be reached in the SIG and the ML, 
then the AMM members that disagree with the proposal, are able to express their 
concerns in the ML.

 

(Change of deadline of proposal)

 - For the purpose of this proposal, it is better to have a longer online 
discussion period. Why shorten the deadline by proposal? The proposer should 
clarify the intention of wanting to move the deadline.

 

I don’t think it makes sense to have a requirement of a proposal to be send to 
the ML 4 weeks before the meeting, if we are opting for looking for consensus 
also in the list. Only a very small percentage of the community is present in 
the meetings, so the “weight” of the ML over those present in the meeting must 
be higher. I will be ok to ask for a “longer” period for discussion/comments in 
the ML if that’s what the community believe, but keeping just one week for 
submission deadline.

 

(Other)

 - It is better to be able to measure the effect after change

 

Not sure to understand this point.


Regards,

Satoru Tsurumaki

Dear SIG members,

The proposal "prop-126-v001: PDP Update" has been sent to the Policy SIG
for review.

It will be presented at the Open Policy Meeting at APNIC 46 in
Noumea, New Caledonia on Thursday, 13 September 2018.

We invite you to review and comment on the proposal on the mailing list
before the meeting.

The comment period on the mailing list before an APNIC meeting is an
important part of the policy development process. We encourage you to
express your views on the proposal:

· Do you support or oppose this proposal?

· Does this proposal solve a problem you are experiencing? If so, tell the 
community about your situation.

· Do you see any disadvantages in this proposal?

· Is there anything in the proposal that is not clear?

· What changes could be made to this proposal to make it more effective?

Information about this proposal is available at:

prop-126-v001: PDP Update

Proposer: Jordi Palet Martínez
jordi.pa...@theipv6company.com
1. Problem Statement
With its requirement of face-to-face participation at the OPM, the current PDP
might – at least partially – be the cause of the low levels of community 
participation
in the process by using the policy mailing list.

This proposal would allow an increased participation, by considering also the 
comments
in the list for the consensus determination. So, consensus would be determined 
balancing
the mailing list and the forum, and would therefore increase community 
participation.

Further, policy proposals are meant for the community as a whole, and not only 
APNIC
members, so this proposal suggest removing the actual “double” consensus 
required in
both groups.

Moreover, requiring 4 weeks in advance to the OPM, seems unnecessary as the 
consensus
determination can be done in two stages (SIG meeting and list), so the proposal 
looks
for just 1 week in advance to the SIG responsible for that proposal.

Finally, it completes the PDP by adding a simple mechanism for solving 
disagreements
during an appeals phase and an improved definition of ‘consensus’.
2. Objective of policy change
To allow that consensus is determined also looking at the opinions of community
members that are not able to travel to the meetings, adjust the time required
before the relevant SIG to submit the proposals, not requiring “double” 
consensus
with the APNIC members and facilitating a simple method for appeals.
3. Situation in other regions
The PDP is different in the different RIRs. This proposal is similar to the 
RIPE PDP,
possibly the region with the broadest participation in its policy proposal 
discussions,
although there are certain differences such as the mandatory use of the mailing 
list
and the meeting, which is more similar to the PDP at ARIN (another region with 
broad
community participation). LACNIC has recently adopted a similar policy proposal 
with
the same aims.

4.    Proposal process

A policy proposal must go through the following chronological steps in order to 
be
adopted by APNIC.

Actual:

Step 1

Discussion before the OPM

A formal proposal paper must be submitted to the SIG mailing list and to the 
SIG Chair
four weeks before the start of the OPM. The proposal must be in text which 
clearly
expresses the proposal, with explicit mention of any changes being proposed to 
existing
policies and the reasons for those changes. The APNIC Secretariat will 
recommend a
preferred proposal format. If the four-week deadline is not met, proposals may 
still
be submitted and presented for discussion at the meeting; however, no decision 
may
be made by the meeting regarding the proposal. The proposal will need to be 
resubmitted
in time for the following meeting if the author wishes to pursue the proposal.

Proposed:

Step 1

Discussion before the OPM

A formal proposal paper must be submitted to the SIG mailing list and to the 
SIG Chair
one week before the start of the OPM. The proposal must be in text which 
clearly expresses
the proposal, with explicit mention of any changes being proposed to existing 
policies and
the reasons for those changes. The APNIC Secretariat will recommend a preferred 
proposal
format. If the four-week deadline is not met, proposals may still be submitted 
and presented
for discussion at the meeting; however, no decision may be made by the meeting 
regarding the
proposal. The proposal will need to be resubmitted in time for the following 
meeting if the
author wishes to pursue the proposal.

Actual:

Step 2

Consensus at the OPM

Consensus is defined as “general agreement” as observed by the Chair of the 
meeting. Consensus
must be reached first at the SIG session and afterwards at the Member Meeting 
for the process
to continue. If there is no consensus on a proposal at either of these forums, 
the SIG (either
on the mailing list or at a future OPM) will discuss whether to amend the 
proposal or to
withdraw it.

Proposed:

Step 2

Consensus at the OPM

Consensus is defined as “general agreement” as observed by the Chairs. 
Consensus is determined in
both, the SIG session and the SIG mailing list. If there is no consensus on a 
proposal, the SIG
(either on the mailing list or at a future OPM) will discuss whether to amend 
the proposal or to
withdraw it.

Actual:

Step 3

Discussion after the OPM

Proposals that have reached consensus at the OPM and the AMM will be circulated 
on the appropriate
SIG mailing list for a period. This is known as the “comment period”. The 
duration of the “comment
period” will be not shorter than four weeks and not longer than eight weeks. 
The decision to extend
more than four weeks, including the duration of the extension, will be 
determined at the sole
discretion of the SIG Chair.

Proposed:

Step 3

Discussion after the OPM

Proposals that have reached consensus at the OPM will be circulated on the 
appropriate SIG mailing
list for a period. This is known as the “comment period”. The duration of the 
“comment period” will
be not shorter than four weeks and not longer than eight weeks. The decision to 
extend more than
four weeks, including the duration of the extension, will be determined at the 
sole discretion of
the SIG Chair.

Step 4

No change.

Actual:

Step 5

Endorsement from the EC

The EC, in their capacity as representatives of the membership, will be asked 
to endorse the consensus
proposals arising from the OPM and the SIG mailing lists for implementation at 
the next EC meeting. In
reviewing the proposals for implementation, the EC may refer proposals back to 
the SIG for further
discussion with clearly stated reasons. As per the APNIC By-laws, the EC may, 
at its discretion, refer
the endorsement to a formal vote of adoption by the APNIC members.

the SIG for further
discussion with clearly stated reasons. As per the APNIC By-laws, the EC may, 
at its discretion, refer
the endorsement to a formal vote of adoption by the APNIC members.

Appeals process

In case of disagreement during the process, any member of the community must 
initially bring the matter
to the mailing list for consideration by the Chairs.

Alternately, if any member considers that the Chairs have violated the process 
or erred in their judgement,
they may appeal their decision through the EC, which must decide the matter 
within a period of four weeks.
5. Advantages / Disadvantages
Advantages:

Fulfilling the objectives above indicated and making sure that there is no
discrimination with community members that aren’t able to travel.

Disadvantages:

None foreseen.
6. Impact on resource holders
None.
