3. The accompanying notes, which are not part of the proposal itself but which are a part of the external messaging, should be re-written. The current version of these notes unhelpfully emphasises the removal of the requirement to demonstrate need, as if need were becoming irrelevant. They should describe the effect of 2013-03, which is to remove the *upfront documentation* of need (a form of ex ante regulation), while retaining the concept of fairness, as defined by the community, as a goal of allocation policy. It should be emphasised that the community retains the right to introduce new policies in the future, if deemed necessary, to ensure that this deregulatory initiative does not bring about unfairness.
Same condition as for #1, as long as it doesn't require another IA, I have problem with this.
I've just had a quick word with Ingrid to ask whether this could be done without restarting the Phase. She said she'd want to see the changes and to consult the Chairs before giving a definitive view, but in principle it sounded reasonable. [...]
In any case, I'd need your help with this. You clearly have a pretty good idea of what parts of the notes stand out as "offensive", and what messages are missing. Are you coming to Athens? If so, maybe we could book a meeting room and sit down with the Chairs, someone from the External Relations team, and any other WG members who might be interested in participating here - collaborate on an improved text right there on the projector, and have a version 4 that could be published when going into the final PDP phase.
Great, let's do that. I'm in Athens. I've made a first stab at producing some text to act as a starting point. -- Malcolm Hutty | tel: +44 20 7645 3523 Head of Public Affairs | Read the LINX Public Affairs blog London Internet Exchange | http://publicaffairs.linx.net/ London Internet Exchange Ltd 21-27 St Thomas Street, London SE1 9RY Company Registered in England No. 3137929 Trinity Court, Trinity Street, Peterborough PE1 1DA
