I think political issues, like everything else need to be considered in judging whether the IETF or a WG has rough consensus to publish a document. That said, judging whether the participants are engaged in the discussion, have taken the time to come up to speed on the issues, are involved in the IETF, etc is very appropriate when deciding how much to weigh opinions expressed. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
