A practice I used when I was diffserv chair and we had quite a lot

be relevant to a chartered work item" and the rule for diffserv-interest
was "must be relevant to diffserv technology."
Though I never participated in diffserv WG activities, which was
chartered wrongly from the beginning,
As a matter of fact, I believe that the insistence of the ADs
involved on a very tightly drawn charter was the main reason that
the WG succeeded.
As your measure of success is not in technology but in progressing
standardization process, you say the WG succeeded.
People only interested
in the standards work simply ignored the -interest list.
They ignored the -interest list and the technology.
Are you referring to the many vendors that implemented
it, or the many enterprises that have deployed it?
I'm referring to relatively small number of enterprises that
have depoyed it.
