Martin,

Sorry not to express my mind precisely.

I mean to say, debating which solution is a better solution here does not make a sense. There is no need for the two solutions interwork.

Lucy

Lucy,

there is no such thing as voting in IETF WGs And I haven't seen anything like voting as part of this discussion.

Thank you
