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.
