Thanks Stewart and Alex.

It's good to discuss stuff.

How will agreement of "an IETF definition" be measured?
Or maybe you mean to attempt to agree a definition among the people subscribed to the list and propose that as a definition for use by the IETF?
But still, who on the list will call consensus?

Why is this something to be petty about?
Because I need to know whether this is a list I have to join and monitor in case I don't agree the definition, or whether that definition will come up for IETF review in the normal way.

Perhaps the AD who granted this list with this charter could speak up?
