Re: [tcpm] comments on draft-ietf-tcpm-icmp-attacks-05

["Eddy, Wesley M. (GRC-MS00)[Verizon]" <[e-mail]>]

As both co-chair and TCPM participant, I'm not really
comfortable with Appendix B of this document which
reads a lot like an advertisement.  Even though I
know it's well-intentioned, it seems like we'd set
a bad precedent if we got into the habit of putting
sponsor-plugs into the appendices of our documents.
I don't think we lose anything by leaving that
appendix out completely.

What does the WG think?



To speed analysis, the text in question is:

Appendix B. Advice and guidance to vendors


   Vendors are urged to contact CPNI ([e-mail]) if they
   think they may be affected by the issues described in this document.
   As the lead coordination center for these issues, CPNI is well placed
   to give advice and guidance as required.

   CPNI works extensively with government departments and agencies,
   commercial organizations and the academic community to research
   vulnerabilities and potential threats to IT systems especially where
   they may have an impact on Critical National Infrastructure's (CNI).

   Other ways to contact CPNI, plus CPNI's PGP public key, are available
   at http://www.cpni.gov.uk .
