Thank you Dan. It always helps to see one's statements distorted so well. >In fact, I >tried the IETF appeals process many years ago, and found it to be a >sham. As described in http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/namedroppers.html, Indeed I do stand corrected. Tough to imagine how this stellar exception was missed, though of course Dan's assessment of the results is no surprise. After all, being respectful of contrary opinions and assessments is difficult. > Antitrust law puts stringent requirements on the >procedures used by standards organizations; the IETF procedures don't >even come close to meeting those requirements. And now Dan is trying to practise law. How quaint. For reference, folks, documentation of IETF procedures included considerable legal review by folks actually qualified in that profession. d/ ps. and this is easily the last note from me on this matter, lest Dan be permitted to drag things out further. ---------- Dave Crocker <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Brandenburg InternetWorking <http://www.brandenburg.com> tel +1.408.246.8253; fax +1.408.273.6464
