John, What you said is very similar to the input we’ve been hearing from both the IESG and IAB. And even Russ and I understand the difficulties :-) regardless of how well we managed to succeed in this case. For what it is worth, our general policy is based on establishing IAB or IETF wide formal opinions on topics and then talking about those, and other kinds of statements should be rare. For a written version of our policy, se http://trac.tools.ietf.org/group/iesg/trac/wiki/SpeakingForIetf - feedback appreciated as always. Jari
