[ppml] Proposal for the creation of a working group.

[Scott Leibrand]

Raul,

Another option for coordinating policy between the RIRs would be to 
simply submit the proposal to multiple RIRs and have each RIR run the 
proposal through their own public policy process. I think that's 
happening now, and has happened in the past with other policy proposals.

I'm very much in favor of coordination between RIRs on matters of policy 
(while maintaining each RIR's independence to decide on its own policy 
where appropriate). I think that we may already have enough existing 
mechanisms (such as: staff coordination, reports at ARIN meetings of 
activity in other RIRs, open mailing lists at each RIR so individuals 
can participate and contribute in the public policy process of multiple 
RIRs, etc.) to facilitate such coordination. There's always the 
possibility of expanding the use of such existing mechanisms, and I 
think that might be more successful than trying to establish a new 
mechanism.
