[address-policy-wg] The final /8 policy proposals, part 3

I never suggested that RIPE change the way that it makes its
policies. Instead I suggested a policy that includes 
a checkpoint for the general members to approve a future action
plan, just before RIPE actually carries out the action plan.

I have never suggested that the WG should not follow the PDP.
I would expect that if RIPE adopts any policy related to special
allocation rules after IANA runout, that the policy would be 
developed according to the PDP.

Please note that if you go back to my original suggestion and
remove the extraordinary general meeting from it, that does not
substantially change the suggestion. This whole confusion about
what members meetings can do is a red herring. 

I'm beginning to wonder why there is such an uproar about the RIPE
members making a decision...
