Dear IETF Chair,
I am contacting you as, from what I understand, you are the
Responsible Area Director for the IASA2 Working Group. A few days
ago, i sent an email to the IASA20 Working Group Chairs as the editor
of draft-ietf-iasa2-consolidated-upd-07 pointed out that he may not
be the appropriate contact to respond to the Last Call comments which
I sent. The IASA20 Working Group Chairs did not respond to the comments.
I took a quick look at the working group mailing list and noticed
that the communication style [1] followed is tailored for
participants from the United States of America. I read the letter
[2] from 2013 in which the question of the "legitimacy of the IETF as
an International Standards Development Organization" was raised. I
would like it to be clear that I am not requesting any action on that
as it is not within my responsibilities to work on such matters
within an IETF context.
According to Section 6.5.1 of RFC 2026, "a person who disagrees with
a Working Group recommendation shall always first discuss the matter
with the Working Group's chair(s)". It is unfortunately not possible
for me to have such a discussion when the IASA20 Working Group Chairs
are unresponsive. As such, I am bringing this matter to your attention.
Regards,
S. Moonesamy
