And I'm at a loss to understand why censoring such a statement (or ejecting an individual who says it, or terminating the IETF meeting in which is was said) should be a required part of an IETF meeting? This isn't a China issue per se - this is about what we expect from and for ourselves in the context of the IETF. We have a way of interacting that - while not pretty - mostly works. It's unclear to me why we should accept restrictions on that way of interacting that are imposed from without. If your answer is - "because there's some benefit to the IETF" - I would then ask what else should we be willing to give up for other benefits and where should we draw the line? _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
