Re: [tram] Chime in on attched redlined version-12 WAS: I-D Action: draft-ietf-tram-turn-server-discovery-12.txt

[Brandon Williams <[e-mail]>]

Karl,

I haven't read the redlined version and am only responding to your use 
of a quote from me. In the mail that you quote from, my full comment was:

"It is true that you have provided a justification for the change. My 
point is that the small set of people who have engaged in list 
discussion do not appear to agree with your justification."

In other words, there is no consensus on the list about your 
justification. I and others are unwilling to consider changing the 
current draft until we have first agreed that a change is necessary.
