Hiya,

The thing is that I (and I suspect much of the IETF) feel that such I*

cannot _commit_ the IETF to anything: only the IETF acting as a whole can do
that.

So fwiw I was there as Jari's sidekick-de-jour and I can confirm
that both Jari and Russ repeatedly made it clear that anything
substantive needed IETF community consensus. I realise that's not
as good as a recording or set of minutes, but there ya go.

Cheers,
