Since I got name-checked, I should say for clarity that my concern while it might be said to be related, is distinct from John K’s. To the extent I’ve taken a position on providing guidance about conditions, it’s found in the text I suggested earlier: “… this document takes no absolute position as to whether conditions might be placed on a participant’s eligibility for such an option, **or what those conditions, if any, might be**” (emphasis added). I’m comfortable with leaving the details completely up to the LLC for now. Note “for now”, we can always revisit this later in the — in my view unlikely — event that a problem arises. My own gripe is limited to, I think the document is not clear enough in saying that conditions (albeit of an explicitly unspecified nature) are permitted to be applied at all. I suppose one might squint hard and call that the degenerate case of “providing general guidance” but I think it’s a reach. —John S -- last-call mailing list last-call@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/last-call
