You don't have to convince yourselves. You have to convince the
people in the room (whoever that might be) to the tune of rough
consensus. That's the audience you're playing to.
I believe this captures the problem nicely and concisely.
It means that a substantial constituency from industry can organize to
solve a serious problem, can develop interoperable implementations, can
agree that the mechanism is an important component to solving that
problem, can obtain supportive evaluations as to the nature and
technology of the mechanism, but can be prevented from forming an IETF
working group if a random occurrence of folks with, at best, incidental
involvement in the topic happen to hum against it.
I don't suppose anyone else sees this as a thoroughly inappropriate veto
mechanism for forming standards for critical, global services?
