About Proposal 'Simple Update of the PDP

Draft revision history · The captured DRAFT02 page adds a 20 November 2018 revision-history entry saying version 2 addresses issues from the staff assessment of version 1. Its displayed problem statement and proposed consensus approach are unchanged; the retained text does not identify the clauses revised in response to that assessment.

Displayed submission date · The page's Submitted field changes from 23 October 2018 to 20 October 2018. This is a difference between the captured metadata, not evidence that the proposal was actually submitted again on a different date.

source representation · The retained old capture contains a full proposal description, while the new capture is a title-only representation. This records a source-shape change; it does not support a claim that the policy text itself was substantively amended.

Coverage of the same DRAFT02 · The newer retained source expands a title-only capture of DRAFT02 into a summary. It describes a proposal to assess consensus across the mailing list and public policy meeting without requiring in-person attendance. Both captures identify the same draft; this is additional evidence about its intended mechanism, not proof that these provisions were newly introduced, adopted, or implemented between the captures. Neither supplied text contains the operative amended PDP clauses.

Historical attribution and status visible in the expanded source · The expanded source names Jordi Palet Martinez of The IPv6 Company and labels the proposal withdrawn. The earlier capture contains only the DRAFT02 title, so it cannot establish an earlier status or a withdrawal date. The source also displays an October submission date and a November version-2 history entry; these distinct dates must not be treated as evidence of a status transition between the two captures.

Full text supplements a summary of the same Draft 2 · Both captures identify Draft 2, version 2.0 of Simple Update of the PDP. The fuller page supplies operative consensus, discussion-timing and last-call wording absent from the summary. It still requires presentation and discussion at a public policy meeting before consensus can be determined, while balancing the list and meeting; the summary's reference to removing in-person participation must not be read as abolishing the meeting requirement. This is expanded evidence of the same draft, not proof that those clauses were introduced between captures. The page says no staff assessment is available.

Conflicting submission dates within Draft 2 evidence · The summary gives 20 October 2018 as the submission date, while the fuller page gives 20 November 2018. Both revision histories date Draft 2 to 20 November 2018 and Draft 1 to 23 October 2018. The summary therefore has inconsistent date metadata; these captures do not establish a separate revision or a change in withdrawal status.
