I guess I was unclear. I think it's reasonable for Cullen to say "I agree with that other discuss," and that's how I interpret his current position. I think it's kind of odd for him to stick that in the discuss box rather than the comment box, but I don't think it is particularly harmful provided that his discuss never blocks the document. I.E. he needs to make sure his discuss is removed before Russ clears. Put another way, it's fine for Cullen to tell other IESG members that he agrees with a discuss. It's fine for him to agree so strongly that he'd like to be given an opportunity to take on the discuss if for example the person holding the discuss gives up and wants to drop the issue. It's not fine for him to expect you to do anything based on a discuss that vague. It's not fine for his inaction to cause your document to get stuck based on a discuss that vague. _______________________________________________ IETF mailing list IETF@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
