Re: [sig-policy] New version - prop-134-v002: PDP Update
Dear Colleagues,
I am Satoru Tsurumaki from Japan Open Policy Forum.
I would like to share key feedback in our community for prop-134,
based on a meeting we organised on 4th Feb to discuss these proposals.
We discussed this proposal dividing into 3 parts below.
1. Wording of "rough consensus"
Many opposing opinions were expressed.
- Rough consensus seems something that almost attendees agrees, but
the consensus in OPM is a consensus that the chair decides based on
grounds, so the term rough consensus may be different.
2. electronic means
Many opposing opinions were expressed about electronic means.
- I support using the electronic system like a CONFER to gauge
support for a policy proposal, but oppose voting by using current
electronic system because of lack of identification.
- The specification is unclear about introducing an electronic
statement of intention.
- It is necessary to use a means such as a registered name to avoid
the organized vote.
3. Expiring the proposal
Many supporting opinions were expressed about expiring the proposal.
In Japan, the same policy already make a consensus at last Japan Open
policy Meeting.
Regards,
Satoru Tsurumaki / JPOPF Steering Team

> 1. Problem statement
>
> The actual PDP doesn’t support the usage of electronic means to
> “measure” the consensus.
> However, “Confer” is being used. This should be clarified, or otherwise
> the process is not
> fair (remote participants don’t know about it reading the PDP) and can
> be considered a
> violation of the PDP itself.
>
> The PDP also don’t have a formal process to withdraw a proposal, and
> doesn’t force the authors
> to keep editing it according the community inputs, or otherwise, allow
> the SIG chairs to
> declared it as expired.
>
> Finally, as editorial change, the expression “rough consensus” (RFC7282)
> is used instead of
> “general agreement”, so it is consistent with the actual practice.

> 2. Objective of policy change

> To resolve the issues above indicated.

> If there is no consensus on a proposal at either of these forums, the
