Let's figure out what the Right Thing is to do from the standpoint of the IETF and the community, then figure out what needs to be fixed up and and fix it. Making decisions on the basis of, e.g., not modifying the Trust Agreement, even when contrary decisions are in the best interests of the IETF and the broader community would violate the fundamental requirements that the IASA and, insofar as it is separate, the Trust, serve the best interests of the IETF and the Community. Regardless of what is said about fiduciary duties, I believe that if the Trust or its membership ever start to believe that the Trust has interests separate from the interests of the IETF (including that "make the Internet work better" goal) and an obligation to favor those Trust interests over the IETF one, then we would have a really serious problem in need of fixing. john _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
