Line 41: − − ==The creation of PDP== − The policy development process is proposed by a policy working group from various organizations and members of an [[RIR]]. Based on the PDP, various policies are discussed within a specific community and ratified by the [[RIR]] Board after consensus has been reached. − − The specific stages involved in PDP ratification are: − # The policy development process is proposed (by any member). − # It is further analyzed by the appropriate [[RIR]] via mailing lists. Anyone can join such discussions. − # After a period of 30 days, the PDP is brought to an open public meeting for further discussion and the possibility of consensus. − # If consensus is achieved, then the next step will be applied. If consensus is not achieved, another period of 30 days will be allowed for more discussion and debate, until consensus is achieved. If consensus is still not achieved, the PDP may be abandoned. − # If consensus is achieved, another period of 15 days will be given for anyone from the community to provide new observations and suggestions for final changes. − # The policy is ratified by the Board of Trustees and the policy is adopted for use.<ref>[http://www.afrinic.net/pdp.htm PDP process]</ref>
