Yes. I think Robert's recent appeal was rejected that way. I personally think that Jefsey's appeal against the LTRU registry doc set was a reasonable appeal although we declined to make any changes. I suspect many people may disagree with me and argue that this appeal was without merit. I think the SPF and Sender ID appeals clearly had merit. I'm not sure whether we rejected them though. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
