Anyway, given that they actually want to get work done under the
auspices of the IETF, I see no justification for turning them
away.
Given that this is a deployed product, I tend to agree. The work
is going to get done; we may as well help it to get done as well
as possible.
i have no useful knowledge or opinion on the actual technical
subject, so my points may already have been answered. but the
reasons given above seem sufficient to put us in the paperclip
standards making business. i submit that relevance, expertise,
non-conflict with other standards groups, change control, etc. are
important criteria.
