Presumably Cullen is agreeing with the discuss position that I'm holding and that Russ is holding. If Cullen plans to hold his discuss position past the resolution of Russ's discuss (Russ has agreed to take on mine), then I agree his discuss is inappropriate. I'm not sure that Cullen made the best use of the tool, but I'm not sure he did anything wrong either. I believe that my discuss is consistent with the discuss criteria because while it is based on an external review, I've explained what parts of the review I consider blocking. I haven't read Russ's discuss. I believe that if he selected what parts of the review he considers are a valid discuss,or if he simply asked you to respond to Eric's comments (saying that he believes last call discussion is still ongoing), then it is a valid discuss. The second discuss (please respond to Eric and conclude the last call discussion) is a process discuss not a content discuss; he would be asking you to actually engage in a discussion. If he later believed that Tim had incorrectly evaluated the consensus of that discussion, he might change his position to another process discuss about a consensus problem. _______________________________________________ IETF mailing list IETF@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
