Dear SIG members,
The proposal "prop-126-v001: PDP Update" has been sent to the Policy SIG for review.
It will be presented at the Open Policy Meeting at APNIC 46 in Noumea, New Caledonia on Thursday, 13 September 2018.
We invite you to review and comment on the proposal on the mailing list before the meeting.
The comment period on the mailing list before an APNIC meeting is an important part of the policy development process. We encourage you to express your views on the proposal:
- Do you support or oppose this proposal? - Does this proposal solve a problem you are experiencing? If so, tell the community about your situation. - Do you see any disadvantages in this proposal? - Is there anything in the proposal that is not clear? - What changes could be made to this proposal to make it more effective?
Information about this proposal is available at:

prop-126-v001: PDP Update
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Proposer: Jordi Palet Martínez jordi.palet@theipv6company.com
1. Problem Statement --------------------
With its requirement of face-to-face participation at the OPM, the current PDP might – at least partially – be the cause of the low levels of community participation in the process by using the policy mailing list.
This proposal would allow an increased participation, by considering also the comments in the list for the consensus determination. So, consensus would be determined balancing the mailing list and the forum, and would therefore increase community participation.
Further, policy proposals are meant for the community as a whole, and not only APNIC members, so this proposal suggest removing the actual “double” consensus required in both groups.
Moreover, requiring 4 weeks in advance to the OPM, seems unnecessary as the consensus determination can be done in two stages (SIG meeting and list), so the proposal looks for just 1 week in advance to the SIG responsible for that proposal.
Finally, it completes the PDP by adding a simple mechanism for solving disagreements during an appeals phase and an improved definition of ‘consensus’.
2. Objective of policy change -----------------------------
To allow that consensus is determined also looking at the opinions of community members that are not able to travel to the meetings, adjust the time required before the relevant SIG to submit the proposals, not requiring “double” consensus with the APNIC members and facilitating a simple method for appeals.
3. Situation in other regions -----------------------------
The PDP is different in the different RIRs. This proposal is similar to the RIPE PDP, possibly the region with the broadest participation in its policy proposal discussions, although there are certain differences such as the mandatory use of the mailing list and the meeting, which is more similar to the PDP at ARIN (another region with broad community participation). LACNIC has recently adopted a similar policy proposal with the same aims.
4. Proposed policy solution ---------------------------
PDP documnet https://www.apnic.net/about-apnic/corporate-documents/documents/policy-devel...
4. Proposal process
A policy proposal must go through the following chronological steps in order to be adopted by APNIC.
Actual:
Step 1 Discussion before the OPM
A formal proposal paper must be submitted to the SIG mailing list and to the SIG Chair four weeks before the start of the OPM. The proposal must be in text which clearly expresses the proposal, with explicit mention of any changes being proposed to existing policies and the reasons for those changes. The APNIC Secretariat will recommend a preferred proposal format. If the four-week deadline is not met, proposals may still be submitted and presented for discussion at the meeting; however, no decision may be made by the meeting regarding the proposal. The proposal will need to be resubmitted in time for the following meeting if the author wishes to pursue the proposal.
Proposed:
Step 1
Discussion before the OPM
A formal proposal paper must be submitted to the SIG mailing list and to the SIG Chair one week before the start of the OPM.

The proposal will need to be resubmitted in time for the following meeting if the author wishes to pursue the proposal.
Actual:
Step 2 Consensus at the OPM
Consensus is defined as “general agreement” as observed by the Chair of the meeting. Consensus must be reached first at the SIG session and afterwards at the Member Meeting for the process to continue. If there is no consensus on a proposal at either of these forums, the SIG (either on the mailing list or at a future OPM) will discuss whether to amend the proposal or to withdraw it.
Proposed:
Step 2
Consensus at the OPM
Consensus is defined as “general agreement” as observed by the Chairs. Consensus is determined in both, the SIG session and the SIG mailing list. If there is no consensus on a proposal, the SIG (either on the mailing list or at a future OPM) will discuss whether to amend the proposal or to withdraw it.
Actual:
Step 3 Discussion after the OPM
Proposals that have reached consensus at the OPM and the AMM will be circulated on the appropriate SIG mailing list for a period. This is known as the “comment period”. The duration of the “comment period” will be not shorter than four weeks and not longer than eight weeks. The decision to extend more than four weeks, including the duration of the extension, will be determined at the sole discretion of the SIG Chair.
Proposed:
Step 3
Discussion after the OPM
Proposals that have reached consensus at the OPM will be circulated on the appropriate SIG mailing list for a period. This is known as the “comment period”.

The decision to extend more than four weeks, including the duration of the extension, will be determined at the sole discretion of the SIG Chair.
Step 4
No change.
Actual:
Step 5 Endorsement from the EC
The EC, in their capacity as representatives of the membership, will be asked to endorse the consensus proposals arising from the OPM and the SIG mailing lists for implementation at the next EC meeting. In reviewing the proposals for implementation, the EC may refer proposals back to the SIG for further discussion with clearly stated reasons. As per the APNIC By-laws, the EC may, at its discretion, refer the endorsement to a formal vote of adoption by the APNIC members.

As per the APNIC By-laws, the EC may, at its discretion, refer the endorsement to a formal vote of adoption by the APNIC members.
Appeals process
In case of disagreement during the process, any member of the community must initially bring the matter to the mailing list for consideration by the Chairs.
Alternately, if any member considers that the Chairs have violated the process or erred in their judgement, they may appeal their decision through the EC, which must decide the matter within a period of four weeks.
5. Advantages / Disadvantages -----------------------------
Advantages:
Fulfilling the objectives above indicated and making sure that there is no discrimination with community members that aren’t able to travel.
Disadvantages:
None foreseen.
6. Impact on resource holders -----------------------------
None.

Hi all,
I will like to provide some background, in case you’ve not read the complete proposal, about the intend.
Actual PDP in APNIC only rely in looking into the consensus among the participants of the meeting. The SIG policy list is only considered as a way to “cancel” that.
The SIG policy list can’t approve something even if the majority of the community think is right, that was not accepted in the meeting.
What it means is that the consensus is somehow discriminating those community members that aren’t able to pay for traveling expenses.
In other RIRs we “balance” both, the consensus in the list and in the meeting (for example this has been changed in LACNIC a few months ago), or even we only consider the list (RIPE NCC).
I thought it will be good to consider this situation also in APNIC, so to allow to be fair with all the members.
Opinions?
Regards,
Jordi

Hi all,
Regarding this policy proposal (https://www.apnic.net/community/policy/proposals/prop-124).
I will like to understand if everybody got the issue.
This problem is basically the same in all the 5 RIRs and I proposed the same text to all (in some cases got simplified).
The problem is only for end-users (in IPv4 doesn't happen because we use NAT) which aren't allowed to provide addresses (for the connection to Internet) to third parties, in a few examples:
1) You're a university and you provide addresses to students
2) You're a company and provide addresses for the employees
3) You're a small hot-spot provider and of course, you want to have customers on it
So, the proposal allows to use addresses (up to /64) for temporary users, and not consider them as sub-assignments.
Opinions?
Questions?
Thanks!
Regards,
Jordi

Dear Proposer
I have a question at STEP 1 of your proposal.
It seems to mean that the proposer can submit their proposal one week before the start of OPM, but there will be no discussion or consensus call at the OPM if proposer submit the proposal after four-week deadline.
Is it correct or typo of "one-week deadline" ?

Hi Satoru,
Thanks for commenting the proposal.
I realized that there is a mistake, because in step 1, the first sentence talks about 1 week, while the second still is 4 weeks.
So, the typo is in the 2nd part.
It should be:
A formal proposal paper must be submitted to the SIG mailing list and to the SIG Chair one week before the start of the OPM. The proposal must be in text which clearly expresses the proposal, with explicit mention of any changes being proposed to existing policies and the reasons for those changes. The APNIC Secretariat will recommend a preferred proposal format. If the one-week deadline is not met, proposals may still be submitted and presented for discussion at the meeting; however, no decision may be made by the meeting regarding the proposal.
I’ve submitted a new version to update this mistake.
Regards,
Jordi

The APNIC Secretariat will recommend a preferred proposal format. If the four-week deadline is not met, proposals may still be submitted and presented for discussion at the meeting; however, no decision may be made by the meeting regarding the proposal. The proposal will need to be resubmitted in time for the following meeting if the author wishes to pursue the proposal.
Proposed:
Step 1
Discussion before the OPM
A formal proposal paper must be submitted to the SIG mailing list and to the SIG Chair one week before the start of the OPM. The proposal must be in text which clearly expresses the proposal, with explicit mention of any changes being proposed to existing policies and the reasons for those changes. The APNIC Secretariat will recommend a preferred proposal format. If the four-week deadline is not met, proposals may still be submitted and presented for discussion at the meeting; however, no decision may be made by the meeting regarding the proposal. The proposal will need to be resubmitted in time for the following meeting if the author wishes to pursue the proposal.
Actual:
Step 2
Consensus at the OPM
Consensus is defined as “general agreement” as observed by the Chair of the meeting. Consensus must be reached first at the SIG session and afterwards at the Member Meeting for the process to continue. If there is no consensus on a proposal at either of these forums, the SIG (either on the mailing list or at a future OPM) will discuss whether to amend the proposal or to withdraw it.
Proposed:
Step 2
Consensus at the OPM
Consensus is defined as “general agreement” as observed by the Chairs. Consensus is determined in both, the SIG session and the SIG mailing list. If there is no consensus on a proposal, the SIG (either on the mailing list or at a future OPM) will discuss whether to amend the proposal or to withdraw it.
Actual:
Step 3
Discussion after the OPM
Proposals that have reached consensus at the OPM and the AMM will be circulated on the appropriate SIG mailing list for a period. This is known as the “comment period”. The duration of the “comment period” will be not shorter than four weeks and not longer than eight weeks. The decision to extend more than four weeks, including the duration of the extension, will be determined at the sole discretion of the SIG Chair.

Step 5
Endorsement from the EC
The EC, in their capacity as representatives of the membership, will be asked to endorse the consensus proposals arising from the OPM and the SIG mailing lists for implementation at the next EC meeting. In reviewing the proposals for implementation, the EC may refer proposals back to the SIG for further discussion with clearly stated reasons. As per the APNIC By-laws, the EC may, at its discretion, refer the endorsement to a formal vote of adoption by the APNIC members.

Appeals process
In case of disagreement during the process, any member of the community must initially bring the matter to the mailing list for consideration by the Chairs.
Alternately, if any member considers that the Chairs have violated the process or erred in their judgement, they may appeal their decision through the EC, which must decide the matter within a period of four weeks. 5. Advantages / Disadvantages Advantages:
Fulfilling the objectives above indicated and making sure that there is no discrimination with community members that aren’t able to travel.

Hi Jordi-san,
I have one comment about your proposal.
In Japanese community, JPOPF Steering team will hold the meeting to collect opinions from community member after all proposals are published. The aim of this meeting is to understand proposals in Japanese and get more feedbacks in Japanese.
If the dead-line will be changed one week before the start of the OPM, we cannot get enough time to collect opinion from our community.
In this time, The submission deadline is Friday, 3 August. and Policy SIG Chair's announce on SIG Mailing list is Wednesday 8 August.
If this is one week before the start of the OPM, do we have enough time to discuss on Mailing list? I think that there are not.
Regards, Hiroki

Hi Satoru,
Thanks for commenting the proposal.
I realized that there is a mistake, because in step 1, the first sentence talks about 1 week, while the second still is 4 weeks.
So, the typo is in the 2^nd part.
It should be:
A formal proposal paper must be submitted to the SIG mailing list and to the SIG Chair one week before the start of the OPM. The proposal must be in text which clearly expresses the proposal, with explicit mention of any changes being proposed to existing policies and the reasons for those changes. The APNIC Secretariat will recommend a preferred proposal format. If the one-week deadline is not met, proposals may still be submitted and presented for discussion at the meeting; however, no decision may be made by the meeting regarding the proposal.
I’ve submitted a new version to update this mistake.

Dear Proposer
I have a question at STEP 1 of your proposal.
It seems to mean that the proposer can submit their proposal
one week before the start of OPM, but there will be no discussion
or consensus call at the OPM if proposer submit the proposal
after four-week deadline.
Is it correct or typo of "one-week deadline" ?

Dear SIG members, The proposal "prop-126-v001: PDP Update" has been sent to the Policy SIG for review. It will be presented at the Open Policy Meeting at APNIC 46 in Noumea, New Caledonia on Thursday, 13 September 2018. We invite you to review and comment on the proposal on the mailing list before the meeting. The comment period on the mailing list before an APNIC meeting is an important part of the policy development process. We encourage you to express your views on the proposal: ·Do you support or oppose this proposal? ·Does this proposal solve a problem you are experiencing? If so, tell the community about your situation. ·Do you see any disadvantages in this proposal? ·Is there anything in the proposal that is not clear? ·What changes could be made to this proposal to make it more effective? Information about this proposal is available at: http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-126 Regards Sumon, Bertrand, Ching-Heng APNIC Policy SIG Chairs https://www.apnic.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/prop-126-v001.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ prop-126-v001: PDP Update ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Proposer: Jordi Palet Martínez jordi.palet@theipv6company.com <mailto:jordi.palet@theipv6company.com> 1. Problem Statement With its requirement of face-to-face participation at the OPM, the current PDP might – at least partially – be the cause of the low levels of community participation in the process by using the policy mailing list. This proposal would allow an increased participation, by considering also the comments in the list for the consensus determination. So, consensus would be determined balancing the mailing list and the forum, and would therefore increase community participation. Further, policy proposals are meant for the community as a whole, and not only APNIC members, so this proposal suggest removing the actual “double” consensus required in both groups. Moreover, requiring 4 weeks in advance to the OPM, seems unnecessary as the consensus determination can be done in two stages (SIG meeting and list), so the proposal looks for just 1 week in advance to the SIG responsible for that proposal. Finally, it completes the PDP by adding a simple mechanism for solving disagreements during an appeals phase and an improved definition of ‘consensus’. 2. Objective of policy change To allow that consensus is determined also looking at the opinions of community members that are not able to travel to the meetings, adjust the time required before the relevant SIG to submit the proposals, not requiring “double” consensus with the APNIC members and facilitating a simple method for appeals. 3. Situation in other regions The PDP is different in the different RIRs. This proposal is similar to the RIPE PDP, possibly the region with the broadest participation in its policy proposal discussions, although there are certain differences such as the mandatory use of the mailing list and the meeting, which is more similar to the PDP at ARIN (another region with broad community participation). LACNIC has recently adopted a similar policy proposal with the same aims. 4.

A formal proposal paper must be submitted to the SIG mailing list and to the SIG Chair one week before the start of the OPM. The proposal must be in text which clearly expresses the proposal, with explicit mention of any changes being proposed to existing policies and the reasons for those changes. The APNIC Secretariat will recommend a preferred proposal format. If the one-week deadline is not met, proposals may still be submitted and presented for discussion at the meeting; however, no decision may be made by the meeting regarding the proposal.
I’ve submitted a new version to update this mistake.

Dear Proposer
I have a question at STEP 1 of your proposal.
It seems to mean that the proposer can submit their proposal
one week before the start of OPM, but there will be no discussion
or consensus call at the OPM if proposer submit the proposal
after four-week deadline.
Is it correct or typo of "one-week deadline" ?

Dear SIG members,
The proposal "prop-126-v001: PDP Update" has been sent to the Policy SIG for review.
It will be presented at the Open Policy Meeting at APNIC 46 in Noumea, New Caledonia on Thursday, 13 September 2018.
We invite you to review and comment on the proposal on the mailing list before the meeting.
The comment period on the mailing list before an APNIC meeting is an important part of the policy development process. We encourage you to express your views on the proposal:
·Do you support or oppose this proposal?
·Does this proposal solve a problem you are experiencing? If so, tell the community about your situation.
·Do you see any disadvantages in this proposal?
·Is there anything in the proposal that is not clear?
·What changes could be made to this proposal to make it more effective?
Information about this proposal is available at:

prop-126-v001: PDP Update
Proposer: Jordi Palet Martínez jordi.palet@theipv6company.com mailto:jordi.palet@theipv6company.com
1. Problem Statement
With its requirement of face-to-face participation at the OPM, the current PDP might – at least partially – be the cause of the low levels of community participation in the process by using the policy mailing list.
This proposal would allow an increased participation, by considering also the comments in the list for the consensus determination. So, consensus would be determined balancing the mailing list and the forum, and would therefore increase community participation.
Further, policy proposals are meant for the community as a whole, and not only APNIC members, so this proposal suggest removing the actual “double” consensus required in both groups.
Moreover, requiring 4 weeks in advance to the OPM, seems unnecessary as the consensus determination can be done in two stages (SIG meeting and list), so the proposal looks for just 1 week in advance to the SIG responsible for that proposal.
Finally, it completes the PDP by adding a simple mechanism for solving disagreements during an appeals phase and an improved definition of ‘consensus’.
2. Objective of policy change
To allow that consensus is determined also looking at the opinions of community members that are not able to travel to the meetings, adjust the time required before the relevant SIG to submit the proposals, not requiring “double” consensus with the APNIC members and facilitating a simple method for appeals.
3. Situation in other regions
The PDP is different in the different RIRs. This proposal is similar to the RIPE PDP, possibly the region with the broadest participation in its policy proposal discussions, although there are certain differences such as the mandatory use of the mailing list and the meeting, which is more similar to the PDP at ARIN (another region with broad community participation). LACNIC has recently adopted a similar policy proposal with the same aims.
4. Proposed policy solution
PDP documnet https://www.apnic.net/about-apnic/corporate-documents/documents/policy-devel...
4.Proposal process
A policy proposal must go through the following chronological steps in order to be adopted by APNIC.
Actual:
Step 1
Discussion before the OPM
A formal proposal paper must be submitted to the SIG mailing list and to the SIG Chair four weeks before the start of the OPM. The proposal must be in text which clearly expresses the proposal, with explicit mention of any changes being proposed to existing policies and the reasons for those changes. The APNIC Secretariat will recommend a preferred proposal format. If the four-week deadline is not met, proposals may still be submitted and presented for discussion at the meeting; however, no decision may be made by the meeting regarding the proposal. The proposal will need to be resubmitted in time for the following meeting if the author wishes to pursue the proposal.

The proposal will need to be resubmitted in time for the following meeting if the author wishes to pursue the proposal.
Actual:
Step 2
Consensus at the OPM
Consensus is defined as “general agreement” as observed by the Chair of the meeting. Consensus must be reached first at the SIG session and afterwards at the Member Meeting for the process to continue. If there is no consensus on a proposal at either of these forums, the SIG (either on the mailing list or at a future OPM) will discuss whether to amend the proposal or to withdraw it.
Proposed:
Step 2
Consensus at the OPM
Consensus is defined as “general agreement” as observed by the Chairs. Consensus is determined in both, the SIG session and the SIG mailing list. If there is no consensus on a proposal, the SIG (either on the mailing list or at a future OPM) will discuss whether to amend the proposal or to withdraw it.
Actual:
Step 3
Discussion after the OPM
Proposals that have reached consensus at the OPM and the AMM will be circulated on the appropriate SIG mailing list for a period. This is known as the “comment period”. The duration of the “comment period” will be not shorter than four weeks and not longer than eight weeks. The decision to extend more than four weeks, including the duration of the extension, will be determined at the sole discretion of the SIG Chair.

The decision to extend more than four weeks, including the duration of the extension, will be determined at the sole discretion of the SIG Chair.
Step 4
No change.
Actual:
Step 5
Endorsement from the EC
The EC, in their capacity as representatives of the membership, will be asked to endorse the consensus proposals arising from the OPM and the SIG mailing lists for implementation at the next EC meeting. In reviewing the proposals for implementation, the EC may refer proposals back to the SIG for further discussion with clearly stated reasons. As per the APNIC By-laws, the EC may, at its discretion, refer the endorsement to a formal vote of adoption by the APNIC members.

As per the APNIC By-laws, the EC may, at its discretion, refer the endorsement to a formal vote of adoption by the APNIC members.
Appeals process
In case of disagreement during the process, any member of the community must initially bring the matter to the mailing list for consideration by the Chairs.
Alternately, if any member considers that the Chairs have violated the process or erred in their judgement, they may appeal their decision through the EC, which must decide the matter within a period of four weeks.
5. Advantages / Disadvantages
Advantages:
Fulfilling the objectives above indicated and making sure that there is no discrimination with community members that aren’t able to travel.
Disadvantages:
None foreseen.
6. Impact on resource holders
None.

In Japanese community, JPOPF Steering team will hold the meeting to collect opinions from community member after all proposals are published. The aim of this meeting is to understand proposals in Japanese and get more feedbacks in Japanese.
If the dead-line will be changed one week before the start of the OPM, we cannot get enough time to collect opinion from our community.
In this time, The submission deadline is Friday, 3 August. and Policy SIG Chair's announce on SIG Mailing list is Wednesday 8 August.
If this is one week before the start of the OPM, do we have enough time to discuss on Mailing list? I think that there are not.

4.Proposal process
A policy proposal must go through the following chronological steps in order to be adopted by APNIC.
Actual:
Step 1
Discussion before the OPM
A formal proposal paper must be submitted to the SIG mailing list and to the SIG Chair four weeks before the start of the OPM. The proposal must be in text which clearly expresses the proposal, with explicit mention of any changes being proposed to existing policies and the reasons for those changes. The APNIC Secretariat will recommend a preferred proposal format. If the four-week deadline is not met, proposals may still be submitted and presented for discussion at the meeting; however, no decision may be made by the meeting regarding the proposal. The proposal will need to be resubmitted in time for the following meeting if the author wishes to pursue the proposal.

Actual:
Step 2
Consensus at the OPM
Consensus is defined as “general agreement” as observed by the Chair of the meeting. Consensus must be reached first at the SIG session and afterwards at the Member Meeting for the process to continue. If there is no consensus on a proposal at either of these forums, the SIG (either on the mailing list or at a future OPM) will discuss whether to amend the proposal or to withdraw it.

Step 2
Consensus at the OPM
Consensus is defined as “general agreement” as observed by the Chairs. Consensus is determined in both, the SIG session and the SIG mailing list. If there is no consensus on a proposal, the SIG (either on the mailing list or at a future OPM) will discuss whether to amend the proposal or to withdraw it.
Actual:
Step 3
Discussion after the OPM
Proposals that have reached consensus at the OPM and the AMM will be circulated on the appropriate SIG mailing list for a period. This is known as the “comment period”. The duration of the “comment period” will be not shorter than four weeks and not longer than eight weeks. The decision to extend more than four weeks, including the duration of the extension, will be determined at the sole discretion of the SIG Chair.

Step 5
Endorsement from the EC
The EC, in their capacity as representatives of the membership, will be asked to endorse the consensus proposals arising from the OPM and the SIG mailing lists for implementation at the next EC meeting. In reviewing the proposals for implementation, the EC may refer proposals back to the SIG for further discussion with clearly stated reasons. As per the APNIC By-laws, the EC may, at its discretion, refer the endorsement to a formal vote of adoption by the APNIC members.

As per the APNIC By-laws, the EC may, at its discretion, refer the endorsement to a formal vote of adoption by the APNIC members.
Appeals process
In case of disagreement during the process, any member of the community must initially bring the matter to the mailing list for consideration by the Chairs.
Alternately, if any member considers that the Chairs have violated the process or erred in their judgement, they may appeal their decision through the EC, which must decide the matter within a period of four weeks.
5. Advantages / Disadvantages
Advantages:
Fulfilling the objectives above indicated and making sure that there is no discrimination with community members that aren’t able to travel.
Disadvantages:
None foreseen.
6. Impact on resource holders
None.

Hi Sunny,
Thanks for providing information. I understand "Proposal deadline" and "Proposals to Mailing List" are another date. Thanks,
Related to the above information, I have one question to Sunny or APNIC secretariat. If "Proposal deadline" will be changed, do you change the date of "Proposals to Mailing List" too ?
Yes we do. We roughly need 3-5 days, after the proposal deadline, for the Chairs approvals, prepare proposal pages, announcements, etc..

Really? I've checked the Mailng list archive. It seems that there are no announce. The latest is as follows, https://mailman.apnic.net/mailing-lists/sig-policy/archive/2018/07/msg00004....

Hi Jordi-san,
I have one comment about your proposal.
In Japanese community, JPOPF Steering team will hold the meeting to collect opinions from community member after all proposals are published. The aim of this meeting is to understand proposals in Japanese and get more feedbacks in Japanese.
If the dead-line will be changed one week before the start of the OPM, we cannot get enough time to collect opinion from our community.
In this time, The submission deadline is Friday, 3 August. and Policy SIG Chair's announce on SIG Mailing list is Wednesday 8 August.
If this is one week before the start of the OPM, do we have enough time to discuss on Mailing list? I think that there are not.

Hi Satoru,
Thanks for commenting the proposal.
I realized that there is a mistake, because in step 1, the first sentence talks about 1 week, while the second still is 4 weeks.
So, the typo is in the 2^nd part.
It should be:
A formal proposal paper must be submitted to the SIG mailing list and to the SIG Chair one week before the start of the OPM. The proposal must be in text which clearly expresses the proposal, with explicit mention of any changes being proposed to existing policies and the reasons for those changes. The APNIC Secretariat will recommend a preferred proposal format. If the one-week deadline is not met, proposals may still be submitted and presented for discussion at the meeting; however, no decision may be made by the meeting regarding the proposal.
I’ve submitted a new version to update this mistake.

Dear Proposer
I have a question at STEP 1 of your proposal.
It seems to mean that the proposer can submit their proposal
one week before the start of OPM, but there will be no discussion
or consensus call at the OPM if proposer submit the proposal
after four-week deadline.
Is it correct or typo of "one-week deadline" ?

Dear SIG members,
The proposal "prop-126-v001: PDP Update" has been sent to the Policy SIG for review.
It will be presented at the Open Policy Meeting at APNIC 46 in Noumea, New Caledonia on Thursday, 13 September 2018.
We invite you to review and comment on the proposal on the mailing list before the meeting.
The comment period on the mailing list before an APNIC meeting is an important part of the policy development process. We encourage you to express your views on the proposal:
·Do you support or oppose this proposal?
·Does this proposal solve a problem you are experiencing? If so, tell the community about your situation.
·Do you see any disadvantages in this proposal?
·Is there anything in the proposal that is not clear?
·What changes could be made to this proposal to make it more effective?

prop-126-v001: PDP Update
Proposer: Jordi Palet Martínez jordi.palet@theipv6company.com mailto:jordi.palet@theipv6company.com
1. Problem Statement
With its requirement of face-to-face participation at the OPM, the current PDP might – at least partially – be the cause of the low levels of community participation in the process by using the policy mailing list.
This proposal would allow an increased participation, by considering also the comments in the list for the consensus determination. So, consensus would be determined balancing the mailing list and the forum, and would therefore increase community participation.
Further, policy proposals are meant for the community as a whole, and not only APNIC members, so this proposal suggest removing the actual “double” consensus required in both groups.
Moreover, requiring 4 weeks in advance to the OPM, seems unnecessary as the consensus determination can be done in two stages (SIG meeting and list), so the proposal looks for just 1 week in advance to the SIG responsible for that proposal.
Finally, it completes the PDP by adding a simple mechanism for solving disagreements during an appeals phase and an improved definition of ‘consensus’.
2. Objective of policy change
To allow that consensus is determined also looking at the opinions of community members that are not able to travel to the meetings, adjust the time required before the relevant SIG to submit the proposals, not requiring “double” consensus with the APNIC members and facilitating a simple method for appeals.
3. Situation in other regions
The PDP is different in the different RIRs. This proposal is similar to the RIPE PDP, possibly the region with the broadest participation in its policy proposal discussions, although there are certain differences such as the mandatory use of the mailing list and the meeting, which is more similar to the PDP at ARIN (another region with broad community participation). LACNIC has recently adopted a similar policy proposal with the same aims.
4. Proposed policy solution

Dear Colleagues,
I am Satoru Tsurumaki from Japan Open Policy Forum.
I would like to share key feedback in our community for prop-126,
based on a meeting we organised on 22nd Aug to discuss these proposals.
Many supporting opinions were expressed about the point of confirming consensus on ML.
A question of doubt and concern was expressed, in that it discontinues AMM consensus and changes the proposal's deadline.
(Consensus on ML)
- I support to take a consensus confirmation with ML instead of AMM.
- I support on the point of view that this proposal will expand the opportunities to the remote participant to discussing about proposal.
- For consensus confirmation in ML, only proposal which reached consensus in OPM are eligible and the proposal which not reached consensus are not eligible. it is not good to lose the opportunity to state a opinion at the ML about the proposal which not reach consensus.
Let me clarify this. I’m not suggesting a ML confirmation of the consensus. What I suggest is that it is discriminatory to look for consensus ONLY in the SIG, because there is many people not able to come to meetings and they are part of the community. So, what I’m suggesting is that the consensus should be measured in both, the SIG and the ML.
(Consensus at AMM)
- The meaning of taking consensus in AMM is for members to clarify the pros and cons about APNIC’s implementation. This is not a simple substitution from AMM to ML.
- In addition to the past, how about added a confirmation of consensus in ML ?
Clarification in the AMM is good to have, but not “mandating” the consensus on the AMM. If we accept that the consensus can be reached in the SIG and the ML, then the AMM members that disagree with the proposal, are able to express their concerns in the ML.
(Change of deadline of proposal)
- For the purpose of this proposal, it is better to have a longer online discussion period. Why shorten the deadline by proposal? The proposer should clarify the intention of wanting to move the deadline.
I don’t think it makes sense to have a requirement of a proposal to be send to the ML 4 weeks before the meeting, if we are opting for looking for consensus also in the list. Only a very small percentage of the community is present in the meetings, so the “weight” of the ML over those present in the meeting must be higher. I will be ok to ask for a “longer” period for discussion/comments in the ML if that’s what the community believe, but keeping just one week for submission deadline.
(Other)
- It is better to be able to measure the effect after change
Not sure to understand this point.

Dear SIG members,
The proposal "prop-126-v001: PDP Update" has been sent to the Policy SIG for review.
It will be presented at the Open Policy Meeting at APNIC 46 in Noumea, New Caledonia on Thursday, 13 September 2018.
We invite you to review and comment on the proposal on the mailing list before the meeting.
The comment period on the mailing list before an APNIC meeting is an important part of the policy development process. We encourage you to express your views on the proposal:
· Do you support or oppose this proposal?
· Does this proposal solve a problem you are experiencing? If so, tell the community about your situation.
· Do you see any disadvantages in this proposal?
· Is there anything in the proposal that is not clear?
· What changes could be made to this proposal to make it more effective?
Information about this proposal is available at:

prop-126-v001: PDP Update
Proposer: Jordi Palet Martínez jordi.palet@theipv6company.com 1. Problem Statement With its requirement of face-to-face participation at the OPM, the current PDP might – at least partially – be the cause of the low levels of community participation in the process by using the policy mailing list.
This proposal would allow an increased participation, by considering also the comments in the list for the consensus determination. So, consensus would be determined balancing the mailing list and the forum, and would therefore increase community participation.
Further, policy proposals are meant for the community as a whole, and not only APNIC members, so this proposal suggest removing the actual “double” consensus required in both groups.
Moreover, requiring 4 weeks in advance to the OPM, seems unnecessary as the consensus determination can be done in two stages (SIG meeting and list), so the proposal looks for just 1 week in advance to the SIG responsible for that proposal.
Finally, it completes the PDP by adding a simple mechanism for solving disagreements during an appeals phase and an improved definition of ‘consensus’. 2. Objective of policy change To allow that consensus is determined also looking at the opinions of community members that are not able to travel to the meetings, adjust the time required before the relevant SIG to submit the proposals, not requiring “double” consensus with the APNIC members and facilitating a simple method for appeals. 3. Situation in other regions The PDP is different in the different RIRs. This proposal is similar to the RIPE PDP, possibly the region with the broadest participation in its policy proposal discussions, although there are certain differences such as the mandatory use of the mailing list and the meeting, which is more similar to the PDP at ARIN (another region with broad community participation). LACNIC has recently adopted a similar policy proposal with the same aims. 4. Proposed policy solution PDP documnet https://www.apnic.net/about-apnic/corporate-documents/documents/policy-devel...
4. Proposal process
A policy proposal must go through the following chronological steps in order to be adopted by APNIC.
Actual:
Step 1
Discussion before the OPM
A formal proposal paper must be submitted to the SIG mailing list and to the SIG Chair four weeks before the start of the OPM. The proposal must be in text which clearly expresses the proposal, with explicit mention of any changes being proposed to existing policies and the reasons for those changes. The APNIC Secretariat will recommend a preferred proposal format. If the four-week deadline is not met, proposals may still be submitted and presented for discussion at the meeting; however, no decision may be made by the meeting regarding the proposal. The proposal will need to be resubmitted in time for the following meeting if the author wishes to pursue the proposal.

Actual:
Step 2
Consensus at the OPM
Consensus is defined as “general agreement” as observed by the Chair of the meeting. Consensus must be reached first at the SIG session and afterwards at the Member Meeting for the process to continue. If there is no consensus on a proposal at either of these forums, the SIG (either on the mailing list or at a future OPM) will discuss whether to amend the proposal or to withdraw it.

Step 2
Consensus at the OPM
Consensus is defined as “general agreement” as observed by the Chairs. Consensus is determined in both, the SIG session and the SIG mailing list. If there is no consensus on a proposal, the SIG (either on the mailing list or at a future OPM) will discuss whether to amend the proposal or to withdraw it.
Actual:
Step 3
Discussion after the OPM
Proposals that have reached consensus at the OPM and the AMM will be circulated on the appropriate SIG mailing list for a period. This is known as the “comment period”. The duration of the “comment period” will be not shorter than four weeks and not longer than eight weeks. The decision to extend more than four weeks, including the duration of the extension, will be determined at the sole discretion of the SIG Chair.

Step 4
No change.
Actual:
Step 5
Endorsement from the EC
The EC, in their capacity as representatives of the membership, will be asked to endorse the consensus proposals arising from the OPM and the SIG mailing lists for implementation at the next EC meeting. In reviewing the proposals for implementation, the EC may refer proposals back to the SIG for further discussion with clearly stated reasons. As per the APNIC By-laws, the EC may, at its discretion, refer the endorsement to a formal vote of adoption by the APNIC members.

Appeals process
In case of disagreement during the process, any member of the community must initially bring the matter to the mailing list for consideration by the Chairs.
Alternately, if any member considers that the Chairs have violated the process or erred in their judgement, they may appeal their decision through the EC, which must decide the matter within a period of four weeks. 5. Advantages / Disadvantages Advantages:
Fulfilling the objectives above indicated and making sure that there is no discrimination with community members that aren’t able to travel.
Disadvantages:
None foreseen. 6. Impact on resource holders None. 7. References http://www.lacnic.net/679/2/lacnic/policy-development-process https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-642
