-----Original Message----- We're in a paradox where the community has killed a policy on address certification while simultaneously authorising the NCC to develop such a system. [snip] There now needs to be a vote by the NCC membership to take a decision which will normalise that situation. And unlike RIPE's PDP, the AGM shouldn't take 3 years to decide.

If the NCC membership votes to continue developing the system, how exactly does the situation get "normalized?" A vote to continue development of a system that has been rejected in the policy process continues the paradox, does it not? Only a negative vote would normalize. And I don't get the impression that you would vote no, or urge others to vote no. Milton L.
