Dear WG, I would like to start a discussion on slightly improving the process for setting new policy. http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/lir/howto_devolep.html This is inspired by the ARIN policy process: http://www.arin.net/announcements/policy_eval_process.html Altough this is very different from how we do things in the lir-wg there is one change I would like us to discuss: "To be considered for presentation at these meetings the proposal should be submitted to ARIN staff six (6) weeks prior to commencement of the meetings to allow time for it to be posted and an announcement to be sent out at least thirty (30) days before the meetings convene." Should we in our procedures include a requirement for the proposed change to be submitted to the lir-wg some weeks before the lir-wg meeting ? Hans Petter
