It exactly an example of the IETF publishing a minority opinion. Obviously, we couldn't publish two standards for the same bits. > This case is when two IETF groups > have different opinions. > > The case I refer to is when an SSDO consensus opposes an IETF-WG > consensus, That doesn't affect what the IETF publishes. The IETF publishes the documents that it reaches consensus on, after considering all contributions. Liaisons from other SDOs are considered. That doesn't mean we take them as instructions or have any obligations. When we become aware of another SDO working on an alternative solution, we normally attempt to engage in dialogue, but there is no algorithm for how that dialogue will terminate. > while the Internet is no more a place where one can consider > that an erroneous RFC supported by market leaders will quickly deprecate > and not hurt. > > The resources of the other SSDO are dedicated to its own business.

If people from another SDO wish to submit a draft for publication as an RFC, I can't see any reason why the "RFC 3248 approach won't work. I can't see any need to add more process than we already have. Brian _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
