[address-policy-wg] last Call: Policy Proposal: #epsilon Policy text modifications to take account of,ICANN recognition of AfriNIC as a fully functioning RIR.

Following the discussion on the mailinglist  and at the RIPE meeting I 
have seen no proposals to modify the proposal and would like to move the 
proposal into the conclustion phase in the policy development process 
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/draft-documents/pdp.html

Last call will end at July 15th.
