I was at the MIT AI Lab 1967-68 and at ARPA/IPTO 1961-74 where I funded and
reviewed the Stanford AI Lab. Later I based my PhD thesis on McCarthy's memo
on situational fluents. I also designed but didn't implement Lisp for the
Sigma 7.
Later I ran research groups and insisted on Lisp as a requirement.

First, as someone who chartered the working group, who has

a generational thing.
And frankly, if there's disrespect to be found here, IMO it lies in
using this sad event as a proxy to criticize some IETF work some
people apparently don't like.
So how many people here actually knew or worked with John... or what he was
working on? its a relevant question because there seem to be a number of
people speaking from authority... so how many of you were around in the
1960's and 1970's at AI (either MIT or SU)?
I bring this up as TOG(_at_)SUAI(_dot_)EDU...
