Bob and Dave --- I agree completely!

} I agree.  Not recognizing and allowing design teams dooms us to using them
} under the table or doing everything by committee.

Design teams must become recognized, et
al. tools in the work of the IETF.

By ducking the issue, we sew the seeds of making them entirely
illigitimate and subject to discount as "under cover conspiracies".

If the issue had never come up, we could afford to not openly address
the issues, but now that they are on the table, they must be openly
dealt with.

To openly push them back under the table is the absolutely wrong thing
to do now.

It certainly does not say much if our "leaders" cannot even follow
their noses.

Best...\Stef
