  1. Proposed amendment of APNIC document review policy Address Policy SIG APNIC 15, Taipei, Taiwan 27 February 2003

  2. Introduction • This proposal is about the editorial process, not the decision-making process • This proposal suggests a simpler procedure for writing, amending, and publishing documents

  3. Background • Current policy • apnic-083 “APNIC Document review policies and procedures” • Describes a system of calls for comments • Categorises nature and importance of proposed reviews • Review category determines number and length of calls for comments

  4. Problem • Current review policy was developed when the role of SIGs was less clear • It does not adequately recognise the role that SIGs and AMM have in making decisions • Current process is complex and time consuming • Categorising reviews is no longer necessary once a decision has reached consensus in the SIG AMM process

  5. Position in other RIRs • Refer to presentation “A review of policy development processes in the Asia Pacific region” • Summarises processes of other RIRs

  6. New Policy or amendment proposed on SIG mailing list Posted to SIG ML for discussion Face to face discussions in public open forum (SIGs) Consensus? NO YES Report of consensus SIG to MM Endorsement by MM? NO YES Implementation 3 months Proposal for revised editorial process • Propose revising apnic-083 to: • Fully recognise decision making process of SIGs and AMM • Provide a simple editorial process that applies only to implementing the decision

  7. Proposal details (1) • Remove categories of review • Not necessary for decisions made by SIG-AMM process • Secretariat releases draft reflecting SIG-AMM decision • Single call for public review • Intended to ensure draft properly represents decision • Community can request additional reviews on basis that draft does not properly represents decision

  8. Proposal details (2) • Include mechanism for lodging objections to the document on the ground that the policy is fundamentally flawed and may do harm to the global Internet • These objections to be directed to Executive Council • EC has power to suspend the implementation of the document

  9. Advantages and disadvantages • Advantages • Less complexity in editorial process • Better recognition, and faster implementation, of decisions which have already achieved consensus • Disadvantages • ?????
