Hello APNIC Community, I'd like to express my disappointment in how APNIC is handling the Policy Development Process. The policies mentioned below were endorsed by the EC - to a limited degree - almost seven weeks ago.
This notice comes weeks too late for followup actions to be taken in this meeting's Policy SIG as the proposal period for this meeting closed more than a week ago. If you also feel the delay we've experienced here is unreasonable, please let me know off-list. You are invited to join a complaint I will deliver to the EC and the secretariat on this matter.
