However, can you > propose a better way for them to contact members of the IETF? This stems from a misunderstanding of IETF process. What they're doing is indeed "contacting" the IETF to express an opinion, as if we're a political lobby. IETF decisions don't get made by counting votes, as you know. There's no value in having lots and lots of people write to say essentially the same thing - it just annoys list members, but doesn't actually contribute to the discussion. If people want to *participate in discussion* they can *subscribe*. If people want to *raise new points to be discussed* then a well thought out message raising those new points would be called for. It does not need to be repeated 50 times. Two or three is enough :) -- Cos _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
