Dear John, your last two mails do not point out all the problems (I am quite interested in Dave's remark on IANA), but they give a good account of a pure technical (management) problem. Internet is defined as the adherence of its users to the documents resulting from the Internet standard

CRAMing for last call

Now that bis is close to reality, I would like to push the final version of CRAM out as well. The two documents should be able to go through together, (I hope) making life easier for the RFC editor. I have some non-substantive editorial changes that will make the document a bit easier to

John, In this context, my precise objection to what is going on now rests on a comparison with that style of leadership. Jon's style involved persuasion, logic, facts, and trying to understand the point of view of those with whom he disagreed. Like you, I disagreed with some of his

However, I don't see delay at this point in time assisting our cause. In fact, the general membership of the IETF (whatever that means) has very few lawyers, and probably very few MBAs. One would have to wait a LONG time for community consensus. 1. Nothing about the reorganization
