It seems to me that the recpients of the IETF mailing list should be
somewhat representative of folks that have some proficiency in how to

wish this could be true in the marketplace. should keep educating
those management level people to understand that the standard issue is
an important issue in the data communications area. ALso, let them know

keep influencing those users/developers.
In summary, Internet was developed/maintained by some wonderful people for
some wonderful purposes such as "for research only". Now, it is time to
popularize the Internet concept and Internet spirit to somwehere like the

If we can increase it to 5% percent within the next 3 or 5 years, then,
we will discuss different topics here other than the minimum msg size issue.
