Hi Thomas,
Four days ago the current phase on
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2011-02
ended (Sep.26th-Oct.24th). What now?
This means that all the great minds of the RIPE WG's (the WG chairs) need to agree that consensus was reached (or not) and give their feedback to the AP-WG chairs. When they all agree there is consensus, they will inform Emilio and us on the outcome. There is no formal time for that step and in some cases did could take some time, due to the history of a proposal or the amount of time it takes for some of the WG chairs to go through all the emails. But having a RIPE meeting next week might help in a nudge or two :) This is what I've heard on the process as it was explained by Sander to me. Regards, Erik Bais
