[RFC 2418, Section 3.2] Are you suggesting that the broader WG, in mailing-list discussions, overturned the consensus achieved at the meeting? When, pray tell, did that happen? Here's the timeline: * July: Consensus against axfr-clarify---``too BIND-specific.'' * August: One message from Randy Bush. * November: The DNSEXT chairs declare consensus for axfr-clarify. As far as I can see, that's it. There were no other public discussions. The DNSEXT chairs' declaration of consensus was fraudulent. ---D. J. Bernstein, Associate Professor, Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science, University of Illinois at Chicago P.S. Randy Bush has been discarding my messages to namedroppers again. See http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/namedroppers.html for previous incidents. It's outrageous that standardization activities are being carried out on a censored mailing list.
