This whole development is about as surreal as it gets -
arguably the result of the politicization of the IETF
(and probably being subsidized by ORG domain money).
This activity should be run by a business manager - as
it was in the old days.

Having intersected with the IETF and its precursors
since the 1970s, the interesting side question is whether
the IETF will live to celebrate a 150th meeting, or it is
in the throes of extinction.  Would make for an interesting
dialog as the rapidly expanding NFV-SDN universe
continues to emerge.

ps. Have had innumerable positive reactions to the
CircleID article. But that's probably to be expected.
