With respect to process, I think this one takes the cake among
abominations.  Having been at the IETF long enough and having
participated in several BoFs, I'm quite familiar with
RFC2418 and the
process.  Here we have an effort that started with a closed/gated
workshop outside the IETF,

Actually, this is not so.  The workshop *was* sponsored by
IETF; the RAI area, to be more precise (please see
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-announce/current/msg
04758.html).


My point is that this was a closed effort - it was not a meeting that was open 
to all for attendence.  The fact that the RAI ADs decided to do this doesn't 
automatically make it "IETF sponsored".  Not to mention that the topics covered 
by this workshop or the scope of it was not really open to discussion at the 
IETF.  All of this makes it sqauarely an effort outside the IETF and let's not 
try to pretend it was somehow as open as other IETF efforts.

But, let's get past that itself and focus on how to make the best of the effort 
going forward.

Vidya
