Yes. Yaron has a conflict and because of it you said you were handling this discussion. If you're not happy with the silence then I'd expect you to ask the WG to provide some constructive input. I didn't expect the guy with the conflict to propose, "as a co-chair", elimination of the work item. >> I apologize for the tardiness of my post kicking off discussion on my >>candidate proposal but I was traveling for the past week-and-a-half and >>was otherwise indisposed.

At the time of rechartering they weren't so different though. We had a discussion on adding two work items and each one had a single individual submission proposing a way to solve it. One immediately became a WG document and got the fast track into IETF LC with absolutely no discussion on the list. The other was put into a process that waited for alternatives to be written and now requires WG discussion or else it will be eliminated. So yea, _now_ the situation is different. But that's because the two work items were treated so differently from the start. So now I guess it's the case that we can't treat those two things the same because we're not treating them the same. Which sort of begs a question. > It would be grand if the authors of even one of the various proposals > could get enough independent interest in their proposals to show that we > can do good work on the charter item. I agree! Dan. _______________________________________________ IPsec mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipsec
