You are mistaken Hans. It would benefit you and everyone here if you would track Apnic a little closer...
Why? We are not APNIC, we are RIPE, and we only make RIPE policies.
Understood of course. However shouldn't the respective RIR's coordinate their policies or proposed policies?
So if we send out a formal proposal to change RIPE things to RIPE lists, and nobody from the RIPE community objects - what's wrong with assuming consensus, then?
Seeking consensus is of course a good thing. However assuming consensus is not consensus at all. Hence to the extent an consensus exists it must be measured and by all of the stakeholder/user community in which consensus on any proposed policy is being considered.
