Very summarized version of the "mission statement" discussion

2004-01-29 18:10:47
Hitting some very high points....

- Talking is important. It's what the IETF does.

- Standards are one, but not the only, output of that talking.

- Publishing good ideas is important. It's what the RFC Editor does.

- Mission statements are dangerous. Discussing them makes you have to admit that you disagree. Hiding the disagreement requires making the mission statements say nothing.

- Anything is possible to misunderstand. Especially if it's short.

We'll see where we can get from there.
