I have to note, however, that based on my past IETF work the initial proposal (regardless of how mature it looked like) was substantially changed afterwards and a significant amount of work was done as part of the working group process even though some folks believed that their document is already 80% finished at the time when it was submitted as a working group item. This probably reflect the 80:20 rule. Ciao Hannes > -- > Dean > > > _______________________________________________ P2PSIP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/p2psip
