    Let me understand this.  You propose
      that the IETF engage in discriminatory behavior and you don't
      really understand why it might be considered a troll-like posting?
    

    I'm not sure why you mentioned CAPPORT
      - AFAICT from the archives, you've never posted to the mailing
      list.   But seriously, the way to get a chair position for a
      specific group is to make the case to the AD.  If you've got good
      candidates, (or you want to volunteer yourself), seems like we'd
      be happy for the help.   Or get your feet wet by acting as an
      editor or even note-taker - maybe more work than a chair job and
      more thankless, but it's a known path to becoming a WG chair at
      some point.
    

    Or act as a recruiter to get the
      candidates that can do the work.
    

    In any event, I'm adding this thread to
      my kill file.

    
    Later, Mike

          But it's OK with me.
        

        I am fine with it, and I would like Dan to feel free to
          send further messages along these lines.

        
        thanks,

                    Hello Dan,
                    

                    I don't think that is a very nice thing to say,
                      but I like the text formatting. 
                    

                    Is there something that offends you about
                      handing off IETF matters to a younger and more
                      diverse set of members? After all, people will
                      retire.
                    

                    I would like to understand that concern.
                  
                
                It is my contention that you are trolling this list
                trying to get a rise out

                of people. And I take exception to it. That is
                my only concern. It might be

                funny for you to see a whole bunch of people start
                arguing about "communities"

                and their representation and things like that but it's
                trolling straight up.

                
                  Dan.
