Hi Chuck,
I was referring to an exchange that occurred on one
of the IETF mailing lists, where at least one member
of the SRS advisory committee was complaining about
some design decisions that were made about the SRS
that were less than optimal.
If you'd like more details, then I'd suggest removing
them from their NDA, as they have requested.
