Re: [IAB] Last Call: Modern Global Standards Paradigm

Hi Dave,

I agree that procedure of ietf processes should be respected and
followed by all, and/or community should understand such difference in
process before asked its opinion. I hope your comments will be
considered by IETF and IAB in the future.

thanking you for your comments,

AB
