As someone who works fr the offending company, I might point out that the lodged IPR statement does not accurately reference the draft at all. It talks about section IV and section V. The current draft has no section IV or section V. The draft does have sections labelled section 4 and section 5.

Hi WG, I have received notes via private mail telling me there seem to be some existing (and eventually soon upcoming) valid use cases for binary data in syslog. I think there is no point in arguing whether that's fortunate or not. It simply looks like that's the way it is. I do not like

Re: [Syslog] Revised proposed charter

Why? Because the community implementing syslog protocol things seems to be ignoring what the group has been doing. This may be because they're unaware of the work or because it is being regarded as a WTF?! and doing their own thing. Most people seem to be ignoring 3195. Lets learn from that

Re: [Syslog] Revised proposed charter

2005-11-26 Thread Darren Reed
I see it the other way round. If the charter can be specific, it should be, to keep the subsequent discussion focussed on the more contentious areas. Based on the post-Vancouver discussion, I see no alternative to including PRI and if that is the case, then we should nail that down now.
