Hi Jay,
Would you prefer half a viable standard now to an actually
usable one a little later. You certainly managed to offend
the Xerox SNMP implementors who took the time to review the
latest draft in detail and post their comments (thanks to
Tom's editorial cleanups) BEFORE the PWG meeting.
The IETF strongly urges all sanctioned working groups to
make ALL substantial decisions solely via mailing list.
Face to face meetings may suit some of the PWG members,
but they certainly penalize the distant folks (in other
countries) and those who speak English as a second
language.
How about constructive comment on the input from Xerox
implementors?
Disgruntled,
