Ted sed: > No, I consider the attorneys and accountants you mentioned in your message > to be external parties. I must be misunderstaning you because it sounds like you are saying that it does not make any difference if lawyers and/or accountants say that the structure proposed in the document is illegal or not reasonal accounting practice because that would be the opinion of "external parties" and the opinin of external parties should be ignored I hope that is not what you are actually saying fwiw - its my opinion that we should fins out if someting makes legal or accounting sense before deciding to take that path Scott _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
