Hi,
Counting the opinions expressed on the IPP DL this morning, I found that 29
people had expressed a view.
25 poeople suggested to pass our drafts on to the IESG without further delay
4 people supported the proposal to delay and work on an XML solution and PRINT
Although this is a bit less than the 100% consensus that we had coming in
to 1998, I do interpret this to mean that we have strong consensus to
progress as agreed by the end of 1997.
I will now send the message to the IESG for their further review and
processing.
Looking over the comments on the DL during the the last 7 days, I believe
that the proposal from Paul Moore and Josh Cohen failed for the following
three reasons:
- Too LATE, in the development cycle of IPP V1.0
- Too EARLY, in the life cycle of XML
- Too LITTLE, in the way of a counter proposal for the protocol solution
