assuming for a moment that because rob and i are in the same management chain my instructions were ever different than "use your own best judgement" even in matters internal to isc (which would indicate that i had more time than i actually do, and that rob had more tolerance for foolishness than he actually does), i wonder if the above inference would also apply to suzanne woolf in her position on the icann board and arin advisory council, or keith mitchell in his position on the nanog program committee and executive director of uknof and programme manager of oarc, or any of the other times when isc employees do external public service work. i don't know if t-m's "inference" is meant as "isc employees are shills" or perhaps "all employees are shills", but the idea certainly conflicts with my own vision that "whatever it is about someone that makes them useful at isc probably makes them useful elsewhere, and if isc's mission is public service, then encouraging this kind of public service would be a good company policy." -- Paul Vixie _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
