I have had some private discussions with one of the authors (Sean), and we
have collaborated on some language that would reflect that discussion.
However, I understand that this was a sensitive and somewhat controversial
topic on the working group list. I would like the working group to review the
proposed RFC Editor Notes for 3850bis and 3851bis, and confirm that these
changes are acceptable given the feedback received from the wider Internet
community. That is, please consider whether the proposed new text addresses
the working group's concerns given that the minimum strength of the mandatory
to implements need to be raised.
The new ranges and new text work for me.
What does *not* work for me is this being done as an RFC Editor note. It should
be done instead as a new draft before IESG consideration so the whole IETF
community can see the changes. The IETF is supposed to be working on
transparency, and keeping these out of the Internet Draft hurts that effort.
