Suspend?

As in, take formal action?

And you think that it is possible to do such a thing without all of the considerable, formal mechanisms that normally accompany having one institution (the IETF) pass judgement on another (the vendor) especially when that judgement carries financial impact on the vendor?

And you think that the vendor will not return the favor and seek financial impact on the IETF(and its participants)?

Think again.
