> Carl -- did you get the other message (the one with > the timeline)? Yes, I did. Not having been party to the discussions, I'm not quite sure what is going on. We did a sole source re-assignment of the IETF secretariat. As I said in my note, I'm curious about: 1. the opinion from the RFC-Editor about this, in particular the charter. 2. what the IAB/IAOC is thinking ... this could be a sole source reassignment or a simple renewal. I appreciate that a lot of thought obviously went into preparing your two notes, I'd just like to hear some of the background.
