Sounds good. Cullen, you are looking for clear boundaries, but you're not going to get them. As in many countries, what is tolerated depends on time, place, the particular people involved (on both sides), the weather, and external factors such as whether there was an accidental gaffe from Obama the day before. The best thing to do is to depend on guidance from the people who know the subtleties of the situation best. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
