Dave and Carl, I think that the compelling argument on the design team issue is that we will end up with them one way or the other: the only questions have to do with what we call them and whether they function more or less in the sunshine or by what could be perceived of as conspiracy. As Dave suggests, not mentioning them doesn't cause them to go away. If it is possible to make a translation from ANSI's tested-by-fire- and-many-lawyers procedures, the trick is to avoid making of final decisions in private. If the output of a design team goes into a public process (e.g., WG review) and the WG (and subsequently IESG) can, both in theory and in practice, modify or even reject the design team's output, then there should be little or no legal problem that we don't have anyway (e.g., when we look at individual contributions). If one wanted to be extremely careful about this, the general rules for design teams would require that their report be not only a set of protocol suggestions but a rationale and justification for them. That would make the reasoning public and open (even if after the fact). It would, of course, have the important side-benefit of documenting the reasoning behind the decisions for the community, something that I think we concluded some months ago (in a non-POISED context) was a good idea anyway. john
