Denis,

you were clear in your email earlier today that you believe that your 
proposed solution for NWI-4 will cause problems.  This is a good thing 
to put on the table because it allows for the possibility of discussing 
what level of breakage you think may be involved with your proposal.

The more important issue is that as chair, you previously said that if 
there were no interest expressed in progressing NWI-4, that it would be 
dropped.  But this turned into a request to the RIPE NCC to produce an 
impact / implementation report on a specific proposed solution, without 
any community discussion or any indication of consensus.

If you want to propose some technical solutions to deal with this issue, 
I'm sure everyone would welcome this - although it would be normal to 
recuse yourself from the consensus call in this sort of situation.
