Do you really believe that the pressure would stop if the IETF just remained silent? The WG process will ensure that the IETF provides careful and balanced guidance, and hopefully uniform implementations. The absence of IETF process will only ensure that the pressure and implementations will happen without IETF guidance. -- Christian Huitema _______________________________________________ Shutup mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/shutup
