Updates to RIPE-500: Policy Development in RIPE

Hi,

This document is very easy to read.

I have one question. When the timelines are described in section two, it
says:

"These four phases are detailed below with timelines. They are proposed
deadlines for the various stages. Individual proposals may choose to vary
these, but the actual timescales must be documented."

As "proposals" aren't people I am not sure whether the decision to change
the timeline sits with the proposer, the WG chair, or someone else.

Regards,

Leo

Subject: Updates to RIPE-500: Policy Development in RIPE

Dear colleagues,
The Working-group chairs have for some time been discussing how to 
improve the Policy Development Process as described in RIPE-500. A small 
task force with Brian Nisbet as the coordinator and Ondrej Filip, Nick 
Hilliard and Hans Petter Holen as members has worked out the final 
details in the text.

The wg-chairs have reached consensus on the attached proposal.

The main change in the PDP is to allow the Working-group Chairs of the 
working-group developing the policy to declare consensus.

This allows for a more timely conclusion of the PDP, but also allows for 
the Working-group chairs collectively to act as an appeals body.

I am circulating the new text now for community review and the intent is 
to put this in place at the coming RIPE meeting.


Yours Sincerely,

Hans Petter Holen
RIPE Deputy Chair
