arguments won't do it. There are only two ways to change IETF culture:
(1) have people of influence issue a document of some sort and promote
it for 3 years, or (2) have a plenary meeting and come up with a good
sound bite to summarize a solution (like "we reject kings, presidents
the sound bite came from a person of influence issuing it. yes, it
happened to be at a plenary, but it was a thoroughly "produced" occurrence.

sure is a lot of interest in this subject from diverse folk. maybe
we should hold a wg/bof meeting on friday in yokohama to discuss it.
Sopunds like we are targeting a free-form coffee klatch or encounter group,
to let all us ignorant folk vent our feelings on this difficult legal
topic, and we all hope that there is an accident of brilliance that
instantly solves everything -- even though we haven't solved it in 12 years
of effort?
We seem to hold process-related IETF work to a very, very different
standard of work specification than we hold for technical efforts.
