The outcome of the PDP is that there is no consensus to implement
address certification. To me, that's a decision of the RIPE community,
against address certification.

I'm not saying that I'm totally happy with the consequences, and I'm
certainly not happy about the PDP process taking that long.

Accept the decision of the RIPE community, with the consequences it has,
and work on ideas how to mitigate the negative ones.

So the party line is "we need to push that through, via whatever
channels it takes. PDP concluded in the wrong way so we ask others who
are hopefully more favorable to our proposal."?

Don't set precedence ignoring the PDP outcome by trying to work around
it. THAT opens a whole can of worms I really don't want to see
unleashed.
