In any event, these email lists have elicited more comments than any

move toward consensus?
I think it is clear from the discussions that while there is no
consensus that the current way of doing things is adequate, there
is also little to no hope for reaching a consensus anytime soon
for a comprehensive set of changes that would fully resolve the
existing concerns with regard to standards-track and other RFCs
describing protocols and data formats which for patent reasons
cannot fully be implemented in open source and free software.
The only way forward therefore seems to be to seek to identify
relatively small changes for which rough consensus can be reached
and which are helpful already for reducing the problem or resoving
some aspects of it.
Greetings,
Norbert.
