I sure hope you are very, very wrong. If the community does not care much, then I do not see the purpose in making it an IETF standard. A standards process is primarily about gaining community support for a common way of doing something. So if the IESG is satisfied enough to put out a last >� call, and nobody responds -- it doesn't have community support -- the >� default community position shouldn't be "no" but "no objection". That's a default 'yes'. We already have a problem with producing specifications that no one uses. A default 'yes' on outside submissions makes it likely we will get lots more. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking +1.408.246.8253 dcrocker �a t ...
