Just because people allowed work to go forward in each case does not mean there was unanimous approval. In SG12 the proposed text was objected to and sent back. There was approval to include the "concept" as you say, but only if the text is improved. In SG13 there was considerable debate, and at the end the group *allowed* exploration of the topic through development through a new draft recommendation. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
