well, firstly, the approval message sat on our internal list for over a
day and you said nothing. so possibly a bit more could be done on our
communication. i am an ops hacker and researcher, and am more used to
open and direct communication than nir and admin infrastructure
politicans may be.
secondly, according to the policy development process, consensus was
reached in manila. this mailing list period was to see if there were
"substantial objections." please review the policy development process.

people making comments is a positive thing. it is called community
participation in the process. we do our best to encourage and support
it.
i for one hope that the discussion on the list will produce proposals
and consensus to augment -50, but we failed to have consensus on them in
manila. and failed consensus on ammendments to a proposal does not
constitute either failed consensus on the proposal itself, nor does it
constitute substantial objection to the proposal.
and once again, this is not a voting process.
you still confuse consensus with voting, concern with objection, etc.
these things do not transit cultural boundaries well, and unfortunately,
neither you nor ching-heng had the opportunity to be at the sig chairs'
meetings where these aspects of process have been repeatedly discussed.
as kawamura-san, andy, ... pointed out, they are concerned but not
objecting. i share their concerns, but my proposal did not gain
consensus in manila, and i am not a 'sore loser' who makes a fuss about
process. we move ahead. perhaps others will succeed where i did not.
we should support attempts at forward progress, not indulge in process
arguments because we did not succeed.
let us perform our jobs and move forward by helping those who are trying
to build some safeguards on top of the substrate of prop-50.
i appreciate your concerns, but the pdp is being followed, the consensus
for the proposal was reached in manila. the list discussion has been
one of the healthiest i have seen for a proposal, which does not imply
substantial objection. the consensus is not overturned.
regards,
randy
