Thanks Pete.

A few days ago I was about to hit send on a mail reminding people to keep the discussion in the last call threads about this document constructive, but then it in fact did seem to be getting more constructive and some new voices started chiming in. Nevertheless, perhaps it’s useful for everyone to remember to ask themselves a few questions before posting further in these threads (or other IETF threads):

- Am I offering an argument that is designed to persuade someone who I know has a well-established view that is different from mine, or simply to promote my own view?
- Has the point I'd like to make been overtaken by events?
- If I’ve already made my point multiple ways, might it be time to sit back and hear from others?
- Can I make my point without being condescending or demeaning?

I think at this point in the discussion of this document we might also be nearing a place where having the responsible AD summarize the commentary thus far would be useful — I’ll ping Warren on that although I know he was traveling earlier in the week.

> Since this is all taking place on public lists, and at least at first glance does not appear to be the kind of "more personal" behavior that RFC 7776 is talking about, it seems like going to the appropriate AD, or WG chair, or IETF list sergeant-at-arms, would be the more obvious first step. But again, first glances are not always accurate, so if you (or anyone) feels that particular behavior has crossed the line into the inter-personal sort (as against simply disruptive), please do not hesitate to drop an email to the Ombudsteam; we're more than happy to discuss it and help resolve it, privately.
