Ray, The problems that we would have if the decisions needed to build tools were not available by the 15th or some earlier date were discussed on the list, I believe in late January. There were some rather clear commitments that we would not have this problem, i.e., that the ducks would be sufficiently lined up that changes could be made and people could post documents with the workaround not later than the 16th, if not earlier. So the announcement was made and, despite those commitments, the ducks obviously were not lined up, the tools were not ready, and we still can't, in practice, post drafts that need the workaround text. Even if we could cut and paste the text in, we have no statements about where it goes or decisions/opinions from Counsel as to whether it can be dropped into a random place in the document or needs to be next to the front-matter copyright statements. And, today, you respond, not to that January discussion or the associated commitments, but to a note posted last Friday... one that it took you a week to get around to responding to when the commitments indicated that we've have answers contemporary with the announcement of the new text. For all of the reasons cited in the January discussion, this has gone far enough. Independent of promises about what might get done next week, I want to know --and I think the community is entitled to know -- who is accountable. john _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
