Rationale (Describe the problem you intend to solve)

In the run-up to the Policy Forum held during LACNIC 31, it became clear that LACNIC Staff did not have enough time to prepare the impact analysis for certain policy proposals submitted a week before the Forum. These proposals did not benefit from a longer discussion period on the mailing list or from the opinions of the Staff.
