For this reason and others, I still think it a good idea to leave this in the hands of the IAB and RSOC with the understanding that things are likely to change. So long as you believe you can get good candidates under those conditions, the community needs to let you do your jobs. But my perception, and perhaps I am entirely mistaken, is that the community is expecting to have a dialog as you are going about your business, about the longer term view. I maintain that it would help if that dialog were well structured. Eliot
