[ripe-list] excuses for my response to provocations in the list yesterday

Hi Nigel,

I've the feeling that in part, the lack of volunteers is due to the fact that existing ones can continue in perpetuity.

Also the details that we have in some cases 3 WG chairs and that means 1 less chair available for another WG. Note that I think that, considering that in other RIRs, there is a "single" WG for what it really is more important (PDP) and they are able to cope with the workload, this could also be the same here.

May be a model where we have a single "policy WG" (all the policies discussed in the same list) and the other WG for non-policy discussions.

If we compare the "actual" participants in policy discussions, among all the WGs, I think basically is the same set of 20 people. I think that tells a lot!

In other RIRs, all the policy proposals are managed in a single "main" PDP WG.

I've policy proposals under discussion in several RIRs, that precisely ask for 2 years terms, maximum 2 consecutive terms and then a minimim of 1-year "rest".

    I would completely support this if there weren't already problems in
    getting enough people to take on the extra workload of becoming a WG chair.
