As far as 1 & 2, the IESG has taken the first step the responsible guardian. I have to admit, however, that the detail I have obtained from them has been insufficient to evaluate any proposed solution as being "the right one." I do not dispute the spirit of the IESG comments, I just wish that the comments were supported by more substance, as could be provided by 3 & 4. I cannot speak as to why 3 & 4 were not responsive. But these categories represent an important voice that I think needs to be heard. I was looking to such a constituency to give more information on what the IESG is hinting we need, but I haven't been able to introduce any discussion in this way. (I should add that I am not so disappointed that 3 and 4 haven't responded, I am more disappointed that there haven't been other organizations of similar ilk saying anything at all. Yes, that's a generalization - and the IETF is supposed to be individual participation, but the list needs to hear folks with knowledge of other environments to help pound out a solution to this issue.) The latter case - "newbie" is rather derogatory term. Whether or not any one person agrees/disagrees with the words uttered, comments of this ilk (when on topic) are good to hear. The IETF isn't about making protocols that implementors agree to - it's about making interoperable useful protocols. >Does ((dnp==1 at .nl) == (dnp==1 at .com)) semantically evaluate to 1, or 0? The answer to this is a determining factor (to me at least) of whether $dnp is in the base specification or in an extension. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis +1-703-227-9854 ARIN Research Engineer
