Dear Secretariat, or if anyone from EC would like to comment on this, As per my understanding of the PDP, the EC's Role According to Step 5 clearly states the EC has three options only after the consensus has reached at the OPM and then at AMM/AGM:
- Endorse the proposal for implementation - Do not endorse the proposal and refer back to the Policy SIG for further discussion with clearly stated reasons - Do not endorse the proposal and refer the endorsement to a formal vote of adoption by APNIC members It can't be endorsed by EC and then ask secretariat to implement some parts of it. It's a binary function and since this policy has been endorsed by the EC as per the meeting minutes then it has to be implemented as written. Regards, Aftab A.
