For the purposes of getting something that might suffice into the draft that Bert and I intend to ship this morning, I'm going to go with John's last option (if the IAOC can't achieve a unanimous decision, it falls back to voting), and leave all the rest of the text in as Harald stated it. I think that this is consistant with other discussion up to this point, and we can of course fix it if it turns out that this is not what the community wanted. </hat> _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
