There's IETF in theory and IETF in practice.
Also note that I believe that a discussion of whether this alternative
is a good idea should probably move off the ietf list fairly quickly.
I agree. As I said, I'm trying to strongly tend to "return to my
seat". I object to the implied assertion that IETF *couldn't* go in
this direction and remain IETF. As I also said: I think this time in
history is a unique opportunity to do so.
I'm mostly repeating myself, so: thanks for listening.
