Hi. As we try to raise other things back to the level of principles, I want to address one that seems to underlie some of the thinking that has led to what I believe to be too-specific, and probably misguided, provisions in the draft. That underlying theme is, more or less, Suppose ISOC goes

in these principles I have not directly addressed the feeling of some people that the IETF needs to be able to blow the bolts (as I put it a while back) with the ISOC quickly if things go bad in some way. I have not done so not because I want to dismiss or ignore such feelings but because I

An observation, speaking as an individual (not as doc editor): As far as I can tell, the decision about whether or not the IETF is trusting ISOC as our partner in the IASA effort was settled by the apparent consensus that we should follow the Scenario O path. I'd respectfully suggest that,
