Please don't misunderstand me.  I do not want to dismiss contributions
from other RIRs' staff members, AC advisory boards, etc - to the contrary,
looking at our policy proposals from the outside might bring aspects into 
view that we've just overlooked, and policy expertise coming from other
backgrounds is welcome.

So if the above paragraph hinted at "I will ignore these comments", it 
wasn't meant that way.

OTOH, when it turns out that someone has a background in policy making
elsewhere, maybe my expectations on the quality of their reasoning for 
rejecting one of our policy proposal would be a tad higher...  judging 
rough consensus is always subjective to some extent.
