Now, on the *one* hand, I'd be surprised indeed if the chair of DNSEXT had NOT been paid by somebody to do BIND consulting somewhere along the line. On the other hand, if Olafur is in fact making a living doing BIND9 development and coding for ISC or one of their clients, that might be called a "conflict of interest" when the issue at hand is that a specific document is "too BIND9 specific". Personally, I'm OK with Olafur making money doing BIND. I'm even OK on him possibly making more if the draft becomes an RFC in its current state. I admit I've looked through RFC2026 and found nothing about disclosure of conflict of interest(*). I hate making more work for the AD and IESG, but I think at least a "We've talked to Olafur and do/dont think there's a problem" is called for. (*) I'll let wiser people than I decide if there should be such a section in a son-of-2026.... -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
