Hi Russ,
I am conscious that this text needs to have the consensus of the three groups
planning to co-sign, and we also need consensus of the IETF community that you
sign it.
Given the first of these, I think the question you ask is "Are there strong
objections?" not "Could we wordsmith this so we would be happier with it?"
Had you asked the second question, I would have been first in line (actually, I
already sent my thoughts a couple of weeks ago). But I agree there is no scope
for that at this stage.
Since you asked the other question: No, I have no strong objection, and I
support this statement being signed by you and the IAB chair.
Thanks,
Adrian

An earlier version was discussed in plenary, and the IAB Chair called
for comments on the IETF mail list. This version includes changes
that address those comments.
Th IETF 84 Administrative plenary minutes have been posted, so that
discussion can be reviewed if desired. The minutes are here:

On 8 August 2012, the IEEE Standards Association Board of Governors
approved this version of the document. The approval process is
underway at the W3C as well.
The IETF Chair and the IAB Chair intend to sign the Affirmation in the
next few weeks. Please send strong objections to the iab(_at_)iab(_dot_)org
and the ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2012-08-24.
Thank you,
