David,
I appologise if you found my comments offensive, they were not intend to
be. I'm gald you encouraged NSI to publish RRP, I'm gald they published
it. I also needed to discuss with the RAB issues about RRP durring the
testbed but was prevented by NSI by NDA. Remember in Berlin I asked if I
could talk to the RAB and that the testbed registrars have some problems
with RRP?
We all know that the entire development of rrp was sub-optimal and yes
Informational does not implay Endorsement but that is a fact that most of
the world does not understand and is an entirely different thread.
I have atempted as have others to outline many issues we have had with the
RRP protocol and its developemnt. I realy can't do more than that.

I find this offensive. I was among those who encouraged NSI to publish the
RRP as an informational RFC as I felt it would be in the best interests of
everybody to have the RRP protocol publically examined and I feel NSI should
be commended for documenting their protocol. However, INFORMATIONAL RFCS DO
NOT IMPLY ENDORSEMENT. The draft is a representation of an existing, in use
proprietary protocol. No further justification should be necessary for
documenting it as an informational RFC.
