Hi, Paul,

As a new IAB member, I'm becoming disturbed about the number of things that I'm tripping over that "everyone knows", but we haven't written down yet. The list of reasons we need to punt FTP seems to be one of those things that we should be capturing as part of our institutional memory.

I would be willing to support a document like this in the IAB stream, if that were appropriate, but even if it's not, I think such a document would be a classic example of the reason we need, and have, an Independent Stream. It should find a home.

Many people pay attention to the authors of RFCs. An RFC saying "Foo considered bad" with the IAB as the authors carries much more weight than one from Some Guy, as well it should.

Sure. John's food chain started with proposed standard/BCP, which should carry some weight as well :-)

Your point was that the stream matters. I would agree.

My point was that this should not be one of the documents that we can't find a place to publish.

Thanks,

Spencer
