I support its inclusion based on this, and simply to provide some context about what MAAWG is. To Frank's comment, I suggest changing "the largest" to "a large", and leaving the rest as-is. If people really hate its placement up-front, perhaps it could appear in an appendix instead, but I'm fine with it where it is. I don't think the IETF needs to be too worried about publishing an externally-generated document as an RFC given that it's Informational only, and is directly related to work that is going on in a current working group. I suspect it would be more of a concern if it were re-publishing something onto the Standards Track without sending it through a working group first. (And "Its'" should be "Its".) -MSK _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
