Sorry.  As usual, I hit 'send' too quickly and thereby entirely missed 
the real point I meant to make:

Getting the IETF community involved in rounds of debate about acceptable 
national policies is certain be be unproductive and likely to be 
destructive. We already have countries upset with us for making 
decisions based on solid engineering preferences.  What is likely to be 
the result of our pretending to be able to make decision on politically 
acceptable national behavior?

On the other hand, the nice thing about pursuing a rough consensus 
community decision is that it does not matter what basis each of us 
uses.  We do not need debate.  We simply need voices saying yay or nay.
