Randy: There seems to be more than rough consensus from many IETF leadership representatives that this is the right course of action from the number of +1 reactions to this thread. What i wonder is why there was no suggestion made as to where to continue the discussion for folks interested in it other than on an interim. To the best of my understanding, the rules for inclusiveness in the IETF do typically say that email is our primary discussion channel and given how the topic was accepted for an interrim it seems not inclusive to not also allow the discussion in email then. But maybe i am confused about the rules. If the topic is meant to be disucssed an a gendispatch interrim, would it not too be appropriate to ask for the discussion to go to gendispatch mailing list until that group has decided on a better place ?
