There's been more than one or two people who have told
me that they are uneasy about ICAP's close ties with an
outside organization. Though I find this tainting surprising,
there's no question that it's an issue. I'd like to solicit ideas on how,
going forward, we can make it clear that this protocol
is now a true-blue IETF effort.
Hilarie, ICAP looks like a pretty good protocol to me, and I accept that
it's part of the IETF fold since you all have opened it up to IETF
modification. My issue was avoiding preconceptions. Shouldn't we do
OPES's requirements first, and then see how well ICAP meets them? Does
that sound like a rhetorical question? How about that one? Anyway,
then we might be able to do a better job on the protocol which will be
known as ICAP.
