I think you brig up s that we should carefully consider. I believe that I had considered issues generally similar to yours before indicating support for the proposal. I've considered your specific concerns and that does not change my belief that providing the IAB and IETF chairs this tool is a good idea. I think they should be evaluated in part on whether they use the tool responsibly, but I'm happy to trust them to do so. However I do believe these are important things to think about. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
