I still believe that the NOMCON process is a liability that should be replaced by a democratic system The issue there is whether there is going to be accountability and whether people who speak on behalf of the IETF can do so with authority. The issue here is different, the question is whether the people who write an deploy code can come to a consensus. A vote is not going to make that happen. If the WG votes for X but a browser provider with 30% of the market insists that they won't do X, a vote is not going to change matters. -- Website: http://hallambaker.com/
