Hi - Our ADs worked very hard to prevent us from talking about technology choices at the CANMOD BOF. Our original proposal for consensus hums included getting a of sense of preferences among the various proposals. We were told we could *not* ask these questions, for fear of upsetting Eric Rescorla. (It's unclear to me why his perspectives on configuration management information models should be subject to special consideration, while the folk who have been doing active work and real products in this area over the last two decades are largely ignored.) The people from the various design teams put a great deal of time and energy into understanding each others' proposals and the tradeoffs. The standardazition of a modeling environment for NECONF should have been completed literally five years ago. The notion that further delay is desirable is simply silly. That said, I do agree with the others regarding the charter proposal. While it's probably not exactly what anyone wanted, it does represent something just about everyone who is actually doing work in this area could not just live with, but actually support.
