Milton, others, I wanted to get back to this topic since we did not have time to cover it on the call. First, while I make some observations below, it is not so much about trying to suggest any changes to a particular assessment. From my perspective the assessments are primarily an internal tool for the ICG and may come from multiple people. There is an official result that the ICG needs to agree on, but it is the separate conclusion on whether we need to ask something from that community or not. Does this view of the process make sense, or do you want to do something else? On the call on Wednesday I emphasised that the community opinion needs to direct what we do rather than an individual (e.g., someone who sends ICG a comment) getting to decide. But back to the IETF assessment. I don’t want to go into details; suffice it to say that each item highlighted in the assessment has been extensively discussed and weighed in the community, and an informed decision was made. And as noted, there will be further steps - I already promised to provide more useful information in one case, there might be some cases where alignment between different proposals leads to further work, and our legal counsel and other entities are working on contracts with the direction that the IETF community has given us. But I do want to bring up one item - openness. To be clear, our process has been open for anyone, including for instance, allowing anyone joining all discussions without prior arrangement and being taken into account in forming the group opinion, having discussions on mailing lists that are open, having remote attendance options in our meetings, all discussions from meetings continuing on the list, and so on. Anybody can have a say, and not merely observe. Of course, coming to a consensus (even rough) in a large community requires broad agreement. That everyone is invited to participate does not mean that everyone is 100% satisfied with the outcome in all cases. And everyone gets to take part in the process based on their perspective and background. In a community- driven organisation, the leadership doesn't get to favour any particular perspective over others. Please be very careful in setting the bar for open and inclusive processes here. Cheers, Jari
