Hi Philip,
Can you please be slightly less cryptic?  Specifically:
-What was “this issue”?  (link to a previous email is fine)
-A more detailed characterization of the “separate standards organization” would help me to make up my mind whether this hearsay of alleged behavior were relevant to the IETF.
-And, when was this alleged incident?
Thanks,
Stephan

Subject: [antitrust-policy] Comments on the draft
As one of the people who has been raising this issue, I would like to share a summary of the specific incident that raised my concern.

The specific issue raised was in a separate standards organization and involved an alleged threat by an employee of a dominant application provider to effectively terminate the ability of service providers to operate if they implemented a particular feature.

That situation has since been remedied and said individual is no longer employed by said provider, nor do they participate in any standards process that I am aware of.

I was not present for the meeting in question but I did follow up with people inside the IETF and the senior management of the company in question.
