Joel,

It's not really a great argument to claim that text "has value" without
describing what that value is.

I removed one paragraph in the text I sent, because it was no longer needed
given the descriptive, rather than prescriptive, language I used. The other
things were rephrased.

IETF participants come to the organization with many different
antitrust/competitive concerns. As such, the prescriptive text in the
current draft could be viewed as anti-competitive in the way it recommends
against permitted topics, although I think this is unintentional. If the
goal is to make participants aware of these issues, my suggested
descriptive text is fine. If the goal is to protect the IETF, I think the
current text is actually worse than the status quo.

thanks,
Rob
