Hard-won compromise, I would guess. We have a recurrent problem
in persuading other organizations that we *really* mean it when
we say that participation is individual. Similar issues arose
in draft-andersson-rtg-gmpls-change, which was finally approved
yesterday.

Document: CableLabs - IETF Standardization Collaboration
Reviewer:  Joel M. Halpern
Review Date:  March 18, 2007
IETF LC End Date: March 15, 2007?
IESG Telechat date: (2007-04-05

Summary: This document seems nearly ready for publication as an Informational RFC.

Comments:
Section 4 on participation in the IETF Process seems to be worded in a way that suggests that "individuals who also represent ... CableLabs" will be participating in IETF meetings in part "in order to assist the IETF in refining its understanding of Cablelabs requirements." This seems to take us down the path of explicit representatives who can not change their position as individuals. I don't think that is the intent, but it probably should be clarified. Section 5 also raises teh vision of "CableLabs activities within the IETF." Again, only individuals can participate. The Liaison statements are fine. It is the implication of another level of interaction that raises question.
