geoff, since you bring up the subject, which is conflict of interest, not specifically chair affiliation, excuse me for being my normal tactful self :).
in the ivtf, many folk do work that concerns their employer, someone has to pay the costs [0]. it is not whether the emoloyer gets their income by renting integers (and hopes to get it from renting certificates[1]), or by selling hardware or software, or by contracting to concerned users, or by selling gifs of naked furries. the issue is document authors letting their own and their perception of their employer's interests override the expressed concerns and consensus of other wg members and, at the same time, using the wg chair position as a pulpit for those interests. randy --- [0] - http://archive.psg.com/051000.ccr-ivtf.pdf [1] - what i have seen in the sidr wg has driven me into the group which is extremely concerned about the rirs controling routing given their clear lack of altruism for the health of the internet. _______________________________________________ sidr mailing list sidr@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sidr
