My backchannels are reporting that several folk who think they are
in control here are saying they agreed to the MARID group only as
the best way to kill the idea.
As one of the co-chairs of the BoF and the sponsoring AD of
the proposed WG, I respectfully request you to stop
using innuendo in this group. Other than the group at
the BoF, no one has yet agreed to the group (cf. my previous
message to the list on confirmation by the IETF), and no
one who has discussed this with me has held the attitude
that you report. Not that it is all that important in any case;
we're here to solve an engineering problem, not have
a group discussion of motivation.
Please stick to the work at hand,
thanks,
Ted Hardie
