How will agreement of "an IETF definition" be measured? Or maybe you mean to attempt to agree a definition among the people subscribed to the list and propose that as a definition for use by the IETF? But still, who on the list will call consensus? Why is this something to be petty about? Because I need to know whether this is a list I have to join and monitor in case I don't agree the definition, or whether that definition will come up for IETF review in the normal way. Perhaps the AD who granted this list with this charter could speak up? Adrian
