Dear SIG members
The proposal "prop-134-v001: PDP Update" has been sent to the Policy SIG
for review.
(This is a new version of "prop-126" proposal abandoned after APNIC 48
as it did not reach consensus at APNIC 46, APNIC 47, and APNIC 48.)
It will be presented during the Open Policy Meeting at APNIC 49 in
Melbourne, Australia on Thursday, 20 February 2020.
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?

prop-134-v001: PDP Update

1. Problem statement
-------------------------------------------------------
The actual PDP doesn’t support the usage of electronic means to
“measure” the consensus.
However, “Confer” is being used. This should be clarified, or
otherwise the process is not fair (remote participants don’t know
about it reading the PDP) and can be considered a violation of the PDP
itself.
The PDP also don’t have a formal process to withdraw a proposal, and
doesn’t force the authors to keep editing it according the community
inputs, or otherwise, allow the SIG chairs to declared it as expired.
Finally, as editorial change, the expression “rough consensus”
(RFC7282) is used instead of “general agreement”, so it is
consistent with the actual practice.
2. Objective of policy change
-------------------------------------------------------
To resolve the issues above indicated.
3. Situation in other regions
-------------------------------------------------------
The PDP is different in the different RIRs.
4. Proposed policy solution
-------------------------------------------------------
Actual Text
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 Text
Step 2: Consensus Determination
Consensus is defined as “rough consensus” as observed by the Chairs.
Consensus is determined first considering the SIG mailing list, other
electronic means, and the SIG session, and afterwards at the Member
Meeting.
If there is no consensus on a proposal, the authors can decide to
withdraw it.
Otherwise, the proposal will expire in six months, unless a new version
is provided, restarting the discussions with the community.
5. Advantages / Disadvantages
-------------------------------------------------------
Advantages:
Fulfilling the objectives above indicated and making sure that there is
no formal discrimination with community members that aren’t able to
travel so they know that they can participate via the Confer or other
systems developed by the secretariat.
Disadvantages:
None foreseen.
6. Impact on resource holders
-------------------------------------------------------
None.
