Hi,
First of all, this is not a comment about MANRS but the published document
RIPE706 and is a question of wordsmithing rather than anything else.
In reference to :
3.3 Network operators who agree to the Principles and implement at least
one of the Actions (though not solely the Coordination Action) can become a
MANRS Participant. This entitles you to use of the MANRS badge, you will be
listed on the routingmanifesto.org website, and you can contribute to this
document and others like it.
As I read that clause it says to make changes to RIPE706 then you *must*
first be a MANRS signee, I assume the intent was to transpose the original
MANRS documents with as few changes as possible, but in doing so the
reference to "this document" should have been updated to point at the
original version.
If however, it's an intentional attempt to restrict changes to RIPE706 to a
subset of the RIPE community then this is a dangerous precedent to set and
we should challenge this assertion.
And secondly (and maybe more importantly) we now have two documents that
(the original MANRS and RIPE706) that, whilst are currently in sync have no
explicit method for updating and cross checking. I thought we'd all learnt
the hard way that we should always have a single source of truth...
Thx
J
