APNIC Policy Process - Ideas for Discussion, Randy Bush, PSG

Synopsis 

The current process for policy discussion as exemplified
by this discussion thread itself is far from optimal, is
far from inclusive of all needed expertise, disenfranchises
many stakeholders, and is far hastier than is actually needed.

That apnic policy making move to more of an arin-like model,
which might be characterized by
 - no discussion without a written proposal
 - meetings are used to get depth and high-bandwidth
   communication, not make [semi-]binding decisions
 - discussion on mailing lists is the primary decision
   mechanism (a la ietf)
 - the process of a decision is expected to take at least
   90 days from the last major proposal change so that all
   parties can be included and be able to safely give their
   input and have it discussed by the entire community.
