RE: draft-ietf-ltru-4645bis-10.txt issue with preferred value for YU

Hi Tex,

I don't think this is probably appropriate, at least for this list to consider.

1. You haven't posted to LTRU's mailing list, only ietf-languages@, yet.

2. Even if draft-4645bis is approved, the process for language tags (in either 
RFC 4646 or its proposed successor) allow you to register the information you 
want, if you think it was inappropriately omitted.

I am not suggesting trying to undo this decision, but believe
that, as ISOC adds sufficient technically-qualified staff to
engage in activities like this on its own, we need to work,
collectively, on better ways to facilitate communication in a
timely basis in the future.  In particular, we need to work
fairly hard to avoid a situation in which the IETF and ISOC end
up with different positions on an issue with external visibility
and consequences.  To do so would damage the credibility of all
concerned.

This I completely agree with, we have to avoid such situations.

But we have to also to work hard on not to create a chicken out of
a
feather. Instead learn and do things even better next time.

Regarding Liberty Alliance, I think we should let Lucy coordinate
some
more information for the IETF that can be presented in due time. As
she said, she will (as well as I) be in San Francisco and we are
all
happy to talk.

With respect to the proposed update to the Language Subtag Registry
draft-ietf-ltru-4645bis-10:



I would like to lodge an objection to the deletion of the
Preferred-Value for language subtag YU.



This change breaks the equivalence class relation between YU and CS.
It detrimentally changes the behavior of existing implementations.

The loss of the relationship between YU and CS makes documents that
were believed to be tagged equivalently, to no longer be equivalent.



There is also no benefit to this change.



To be concrete, assume a user attempts to find documents for
languages from Yugoslavia.

Using the then current registry data, a query tool noting the
preferred value relationship, matches either xx-YU and xx-CS.



Another user searches for documents for Serbia.

A query tool using the current registry data noting the preferred
value relationship, matches either xx-YU and xx-CS.



The results are in some sense accurate and complete, given the
history of the subtag.



After this change in the preferred value relationship, the query
tool does not know to search for both xx-YU and xx-CS, since the
registry does not indicate a relationship. Only one or the other
subtag is used for each query. However, the query results are now
incomplete since some documents for xx-YU have been tagged with the
one-time preferred tag of xx-CS.



Comments in the registry are not a solution. Comments are a good
thing for recording rationale and tangential history. However,
implementers are not going to go thru and read the comments on any
or all tags in order to make a correct implementation. They are
going to implement based on the schema and operate with the data
values.



The registry should stay as it is with respect to YU and retain CS
as the preferred value.

As CS is now being used as a preferred value, deprecated or not,
there isn't a compelling motivation to remove the preferred value
for YU.



Please eliminate this needless change that breaks applications
relying on the relationship between YU and CS.

I believe this to be on-topic for this list based on the
summary of on-topic subjects. However I don't see any
similar subjects recently, so apologies if there is a
batter place, and a pointer to it would be appreciated.

I have had it confirmed by the secretariat that the terminal
room at IETF 74 will not contain any machines, presumably
just network connections.

When I first attended an IETF meeting (IETF56) the terminal
room contained several machines, sometimes barely enough.
But over the years the number has declined, along I suspect
with their usage. There have been machine-free terminal rooms
in the past. As like most people I've brought a laptop, I
haven't monitored the situation closely.

But now, if I come to IETF74, I won't have a laptop with me.
Corporate policy, based on recent US legal decisions, is that
I may not take a laptop (or PDA etc.) into the USA. This is
not subject to modification. Obviously even a machine in the
terminal room would be a very poor second, but it seems even
that is out.

There are obviously broader issues regarding US meetings. But
I will limit myself here to the narrower issue, and to simply
bringing it to attention.

Interesting. Any interest to share it with us?

I'm in the process of trying to flesh it out at the moment, in
a collaboration with some of the communities concerned, so
that we can articulate some concrete use-cases. At the moment
the list covers pretty much everything that is presently used
in an Inter-Institutional context (AFS, SSH, VNC, RDP, SIP,
SMTP, NEA, ...).

Looking forward to see more about it.

All are welcome to participate providing there's an R&E angle,
however
flimsy and contrived ;-)

PS. Re: your side note below on the makeup of the ISOC Board,
we'll
update the list to show the community or mechanism that appoints/

(out of 13, 12 voting and me non-voting).  The current IETF
appointees to the ISOC Board are: Patrik F?ltstr?m, Ted Hardie

Also note that the IAB is to select a new IETF appointee. See
