Isn't that why this draft is targeted as an *individual and informational* draft? Since that is the case, I don't see how your point is relevant to the document at hand. [MB] The last call is for consensus approval by the IETF so this draft, if published, will be "the opinion of the IETF". Therefore the point raised by Huub is relevant. > The IETF should refrain from documenting things that might offend > other SDOs concerning standards issues in which IETF was or is not > involved. That is your opinion. However, please observe that other SDOs document and cross-reference each others' works all the time often adding their "2 cents". For example, take what the BBF does with many IETF standards. [MB] Big difference between referencing the work of another SDO from a standard and issuing a standard that make inaccurate comments about a standard that was developed in another SDO. --Tom > > Best regards, Huub. > _______________________________________________ > Ietf mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf > _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
