While Jay is entitled to his personal opinions --and I have found they are usually useful to listen to-- the moment the IETF Executive Director starts making decisions about what is, or is not, appropriate on ietf@xxxxxxxx, we are, again IMO, halfway down the slippery slops toward the LLC regulating and interfering in the standards process.
