Re: [ncc-services-wg] Pre-PDP discussion: "PDPs should be renamed from YYYY-NN to RIPE-PDP-YYYY-NN-vN"

The canonical name of all PDPs will be RIPE-PDP-YYYY-NN. Updated versions will receive suffixes like Internet Drafts, i.e. -v1, -v2, -v3. RIPE-PDP-YYYY-NN will always refer to the most up to date version of the PDP. Old-style PDP names of the format YYYY-NN will remain valid, but all new documentation and communication by RIPE will use the new format.

Does this need to be a policy? Could we not just ask the RIPE NCC kindly to implement this rather than spending the next 6 months arguing, nodding sagely or violently disagreeing about this? This is an operational detail; nothing to do with policy. Nick
