[address-policy-wg] Policy making process

Dear working group,
In the beginning there was no documented process of making policy. At some
point I started outlining the process in

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/lir/howto_develop.html

The experience since then is that a couple of elements should be added to
this - not necessarily to make a biger or more complicated process, but
with the incentive to make the process more open and more transparent.

* Proposals should be circulated in writing to the mailinglist in advance
of the meetings. Currently we have started calling for contributions and
requestion proposals.

* There should be detailed technical discussion on the mailinglist before
a proposal can be adapted

* All policies should be published as RIPE documents

* All RIPE documents setting new policies should be published as drafts
before becoming final
