Hi Robert,

I see. What I most wanted to challenge in your message was the implication 
(reinforced in your note I’m replying to now) that the only meaningful 
contributions are made by “companies (vendors)”. I don't agree, nor do I agree 
that open source et al should be disparaged. I guess you don’t find that 
“convincing enough”; if so, we shall have to disagree on that.

Hi John,

Yes I recall seeing this email, but it did not sound convincing enough to me.

The fact that Mr X says "Oh in my spare time I will implement this" to me does 
not seem to be of any measurable value. At least not so much to put this as 
requirement for adoption in the WG charter.

Much better would be what we do in IDR that the draft should not progress to 
IESG unless the proposed standard has been tried out in any interop testing and 
interop report has been posted on the wiki page.

Thx a lot,
R.

Hi Robert,

Your comments have already been addressed, most recently in Pete’s message on 
Monday 
(https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf/NAa6PvOvdPy8SmYtX1IxQ1Jj-pc/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf/NAa6PvOvdPy8SmYtX1IxQ1Jj-pc/__;!!NEt6yMaO-gk!GKul0z6xuuzCnKlxpocnxhnu24YTSPe-yezafWU4_EtT-3heNA9Ryz2zHMA3kexyMDBtot4BM2D-JQ$>).
 To add, relative to your final paragraph about “hold responsible", there are 
many parts of our process that rely in part on the expectation participants 
will act in good faith, this would hardly be the first.

The reality in vast majority of companies (vendors) is that commitment to 
implement something or not are no longer being driven by engineers.

They are driven by marketing and product management teams who rarely attend 
IETFs.

And even if there some commitment today tomorrow based on new field 
requirements it may change.

With that I am really puzzled what this entire discussion is all about and how 
anyone (presumably chairs) are going to hold responsible person X for her or 
his "commitment to implement" (unless we are talking about hobby 
implementations in some private code base or open source.

Thx,
R.

The premise of that assertion is that having this working group will not
alter the decision-making by those managing the other paths.  Given
human nature, that seems optimistic, at best.

And that minimum is both onerous and, as formal charter requirements,
lacking any historical precedence in the IETF.
