All, I propose to completely remove section 5 of this draft. The reason: The IETF should *NOT* document any comment on any "multiple standards" developed by other SDOs which are outside of the IETF's scope. Especially standards like like SONET/SDH, CDMA/GSM. The current text reflects the author's impressions, and since I don't believe that the authors were involved in the debates when these standards were developed, they *DO NOT KNOW ENOUGH* to comment authoritatively on them. The IETF should refrain from documenting things that might offend other SDOs concerning standards issues in which IETF was or is not involved. Best regards, Huub. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
