I presume in general the answer would be NO to your (question). But please stop bashing RIPE for respecting its own internal procedures.
I agree with Thomas and I don't see this as 'RIPE bashing' merely as an attempt to keep things simple and avoid lengthy debates on something trivial, especially in this case where the pros and cons should be raised in the IETF.
Let's keep things simple please!
Indeed, but I guess you would not recommend to "simply" change a formally adopted policy document, would you? This could be seen as a nasty precedent...
You have a point there and it we might call it an oversight in the PDP to not be able to handle small changes in formatting or typos without going through the whole process again. So for the sake of it all, let's adopt this change using the current proces and focus the discussion on how to handle such changes in the future. I don't expect it to happen much, but the way you put it a small cosmetic error can result in going over a lenghty discussion again and might be a tool to bend things differently by the need to reach consensus again.
