Unless I'm mistaken, this is an almost verbatim copy of what Niall posted to this list on Aug 22 18:28:48. Some way down that discussion, Niall noted:
Background work on a new version of the policy proposal has begun. It is premature for me to say more at this stage.
So, given that it appears that the proposers of this policy are interested in a new version, is it appropriate for people to comment on this version?
Perhaps a rep of one of the policy proposers could clarify this?
Sander already responded, but I'ld like to add a few words. The document which, mea culpa, I inappropriately released to the mailing list on 22 August, contains what was intended by the authors as version 1 of a policy proposal. The document formally released by Emilio as version 1 of policy proposal 2012-07 is indeed essentially identical. My intent, which Emilio took every care to accommodate, was to minimize the potential for confusion that seemed inevitable in case there was a significant difference between the two documents. I acknowledge responsibility for this decision, thank Emilio for his meticulous support, and thank Bijal and Kurtis for their continued understanding. Best regards, Niall O'Reilly
