But, if we go from a three-level to a two-level now, without compelling evidence that it would make an improvement, and then learn that a three-level would have been better, we would also be stuck. I'm not sure I see the difference between the two cases. But I also don't see any advantage in prolonging the discussion. If I correctly understand Jari's note, the IESG has decided that there is adequate consensus for this move. Either people will appeal that decision after it is formally announced or they won't. I would hope that, even if there is an appeal, it would not reopen the discussions we have been having over and over again. If no one does, or if any appeal that is ultimately filed is ultimately rejected, my hope is that we can all pull together to try to make this work. john _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
