Re: [arch-d] FYI: "ISOC" "New IP" "discussion" "paper"

Thanks, Ian

As said in my mail, i think it would be appropriate to how i understood
the spirit of IETF/ISOC to have the ability for a public/open discussion
about the subject matter, so the non-public feedback channel and the
use of a lists where its unclear how to even join it is quite frustrating,
and it would be great if this could be fixed.

As said in response to Brian, maybe a better solution would be
to create some group like "internet-future" at the isoc mail server.

In any case, for a "discussion" paper as this one, it would be great to
point to an actual forum where the discussion can be had.

Cheers
