So we seem to be at the point where this mega-thread is so long that people haven't seen the start of it. Exactly the above was agreed to be done, and was done, some time back. (Sorry I don't have the URL to hand now.) Perhaps we ought all take this as a signal that the signal to repetition ratio for this thread has reached a point where we might all step back from the keyboards for a day or two and see what additional information the IAOC can come back with in about that time frame? I really don't see new points arising in the meantime that are so pressing that they can't wait, and for all the urgency of getting a decision about IETF-100, I don't think a day or two's breathing space for the IAOC will make a substantive difference to the eventual outcome. It might also give us all a while to ponder the difficult dilemma more thoroughly and even more thoughtfully, but a bit more calmly perhaps. Cheers, S. PS: I'm not on the IAOC so I just guessed a day or two might help them. I'd be fine if it were a day or four or five. A break like that from this thread would help me though even if it didn't help the IAOC;-)
