My point is that this was a closed effort - it was not a meeting that was open to all for attendence. The fact that the RAI ADs decided to do this doesn't automatically make it "IETF sponsored". Not to mention that the topics covered by this workshop or the scope of it was not really open to discussion at the IETF. All of this makes it sqauarely an effort outside the IETF and let's not try to pretend it was somehow as open as other IETF efforts. But, let's get past that itself and focus on how to make the best of the effort going forward.
