So please: constructive criticism is welcome, but things like "all that you do is wrong, because APNIC is doing something!" (and no further reason or detail given) are just wasting our time.
excuse! where did i say that? please do not put stupid words into my keyboard, i do that well enough. i merely responded to what i considered an unwise statement which sets an incorrect atmosphere and could become a quoted precident set by a co-chair of this wg.
So if we send out a formal proposal to change RIPE things to RIPE lists, and nobody from the RIPE community objects - what's wrong with assuming consensus, then?
i still consider this unwise, and for the reasons i stated. and, in the face of such statements, i do not consider pointing out that we are making, or proposing to make, policy that affects the global internet a waste of time. if you feel it wastes yours, you have a delete key. randy
