    <p>Hello Stephen</p>
    <p>Although I am not much involved in this discussion, although I
      commented I have to say that I often see this type of questioning
      in the list and I personally don't see the list exclusively to
      discuss policies, but anything that may have to do with them and
      with this Policy Development Discussion ecosystem we are all
      involved.<br>
      <br>
      People participating here take in consideration a lot of details
      to form their opinion and discuss about the proposed policies and
      anything that may have to do with an attack against a RIR, a
      tentative of manipulation of the process being the PDP or election
      to the Board or any RIR that may also happen in this one should be
      of the concern of everybody involved, so they can have more
      information to form their opinion regarding the effects of each
      proposal that is presented here and its possible effects.<br>
      <br>
      Finally and not less important, although we have Regional RIRs the
      effects of trouble happening in other RIRs have the potential to
      affect how things work for all others and by consequence the whole
      of Internet, so another reason is good that people participating
      in the this list get this related information to take in account
      when discussing any proposed policies and also if that kind of
      trouble could also happen here.<br>
      <br>
      Best regards<br>
      Fernando<br>
