It suggests that there is a perception that the current process isn't working. At 04:51 11-06-2009, Phillip Hallam-Baker wrote:
One thing that struck me as a real risk is that similar concerns that may affect the IETF might have been ignored because of the people and the manner in which they were raised rather than on the merits. That does not make them any less of a liability.
I don't know whether there is risk or not. It's not the manner or the people that raised the concerns that matters (to me).
The current structures pretty much ensure that these issues only get raised by fringe elements.
I won't qualify people who raise such issues as fringe elements. I believe that they are an important, and somewhat overlooked, part of the process.
