I think a lot of people are worrying about what is stated
in 6635 at the moment:-)

That includes the current IAB who are supportive of RSOC
in how they've trying to keep RFCs rolling whilst the
community figure out what to do about possible changes to
6635. See Ted's mail on that. [1]

Personally, I figure that means that RSOC need to be allowed
some latitude here and we ought not insist on this SOW
following every single line of 6635.

I also hope we resist the temptation to try make the SOW
a proxy for the discussion about what to do about 6635. I
don't see how any of us would really benefit if we tried
that - the bigger discussion will have to happen in any
case.

Cheers,
S.
