Re: How IETF treats contributors

I'm suggesting that due diligence requires that Jim Miller should be
contacted.  Also, Paul Vixie appears to have done no work, except to
suggest that Jim Miller thought of the idea before it was written down an
posted to the DNSEXT Namedroppers list by David Green.  It was David
Green, not Paul Vixie, who wrote it down the earliest version we presently
have.

Since Vixie did not formulate the idea, nor make any detailed writing on
the subject that I see, I don't know why he would be given special
recognition.
