3.2.2 ITU-T recognition at ISOC/IETF
ITU-T Study Group Chairmen can authorize one or more members to
attend an IETF meeting as an official ITU-T delegate speaking
authoritatively on behalf of the Study Group (or a particular
Rapporteur Group).
This seems rather at odds with the tradition that IETF participants are
individuals who represent their own technical judgement rather than
that of some other organization.
I think it needs to be explicitly said that the opinions stated by
such representatives are for information of the WG only and are not
considered in determining WG consensus. The last thing we need is
to have delegates from other organizations given more consideration
in IETF WGs than the technical judgement of individual IETF participants.
