PDP Number: 2010-03 Global Policy State in RIPE PDP
The aim of this proposal seems to be worthwhile but I have a question and a note of caution. The question is that reading through the rationale I came across this statement "The benefits are that the RIPE community may speedily adopt a global policy proposal if it wishes, and that doing so will not delay the process of establishing consensus if further modifications are requested in other RIR communities." I can't see how the addition of an extra holding state can allow the policy to be adopted. Probably I'm confused, but surely this proposal just allows a proposal to be held in the new proposed state until all regions are in step. It won't allow the policy to be adopted any earlier? The note of caution is that there is no timeout on this state so we potentially have a policy held here for ever. Nigel
