I have emails from you in my IETF mail archive at least as far back as 2006. But I assume you mean that you are a newcomer to the QUIC WG. > I immediately had my head chopped off and told to go away by a working group > chair in less than 24 hours. I don't think you're helping your case by using dramatic phrases. To recap: You brought a proposal that had been discussed elsewhere to the QUIC WG list. You got feedback from a number of different participants on your proposal. The discussion veered away from QUIC to other protocols that this WG is not working on. A chair suggested you continue the discussion on a mailing list better suited to your topic. > If the number of packets exchanged in the initial handshake of a transport > protocol is off topic, I am speechless. My better judgement wasn't that it > was off topic, it was that this outcome is the ordinary behavior of insular > IETF working groups. A number of participants have commented on this already, for example, pointing out that the number of round trips matter much more than the number of packets, and that in their opinion your suggestion would not lead to further substantial enough gains. You then moved the topic of the discussion to why Google (and I assume other companies) are not signing their zones and offered theories as to why that is, which is not a topic of relevance to this WG. Hence the request to discuss it elsewhere. > I also got told that signing a zone is tantamount to "boiling the ocean". You're misquoting David.

Nowhere in that sentence or the rest of David's email do I see any mention of signing zones. > As IETF chair, do you agree with that?

Again, not a topic for *this* mailing list. > Mike, and what exactly are those venues? tia. I'd start at DNSOP and ask if there is a more appropriate list. Thanks, Lars
