I don't think that follows. An RG charter change cannot solve confusion between the IETF and IRTF, nor can it commit the IETF to anything. > > Apparently the work of other organizations to increase understanding > about the workings of the IETF haven't sufficiently succeeded. I am not sure that the IETF inner workings should need to be visible to those who don't wish to involve themselves, and I think Andrew's point is that making the distinction is hopeless *anyway*. And this is where it gets tricky. I wouldn't fault anyone in the least for eliding the IETF and IRTF when talking to policy makers. Our structure and “branding” simply doesn't make that easy for others to comprehend. But that means we have to be quite precise as to what We (for our aggregated definition of "We") say we are doing. And that isn't easy. Eliot
