Dave,

I wasn't in Vancouver, nor even listening to the audio stream, so I can't
comment on what happened there. However, the discussion here (e.g. on
the "ITU-T Dubai Meeting" thread) and the previous opportunity to comment
on the proposed statement, which has resulted in changes, strikes me as
an open discussion of the kind we expect in the IETF. When the goal
is agreed wording between several organisations, and it seems clear
that the two chairs are representing the ethos of the IETF in the
discussion, I don't see how we can reasonably ask for more in the
time available.
