Dear Internet Engineering Steering Group,
There was an announcement for the WG review of TERM {1]. There was a
saying of what was likely a general truth in 1992 which is documented
in the Introduction Section of RFC 7282: "We reject: kings,
presidents and voting." The word "king" is defined in a dictionary
(United States) [2] as "a male monarch of a major territorial
unit". Is it within the scope of the proposed working group to
determine whether that word/saying is inclusive or exclusive?
The draft charter mentions "informational recommendations". The
terminology is ambiguous as it could be interpreted as meaning that
the objective of the proposed working group product is to provide
information or that the objective is to make recommendations.
The draft charter mentions "industry initiatives". Will the working
group coordinate with industry initiatives from the United States
and/or Europe only?
Regards,
S. Moonesamy
