Dear Mark,
I have no intent to dispute with you or any one. I am just an IETF 
user, calling for QA. Quality is never easy to obtain and popular. I 
do not think I ever applied "pressure" for a registration like other 
did: but I certainly behave the way I can in order to expose errors 
and pressures, and to catalyse new debates of common interest.

I therefore do not know how to understand "ineffective in 
accomplishing positive benefit". What I know, for example, is that 
there is a substantial difference between RFC 3066 bis and the text I 
opposed and this group thought good enough to be published as an RFC 
in December last. All the more if you consider the current work on 
filtering I restarted, at the cost of an appeal, while they thought 
the work on matching ready for LC.

We all want this group to be in the best situation to do nicely the 
best work possible in the best interest of everyone. We all agreed 
that this called for changes (IESG). As the user of the resulting 
deliverables to serve other users my organisation and its members 
need _all_ these changes, as many others we identify/relate with. I 
am sorry if I am disliked, but I am determined to get you guys in the 
best situation to do what you want to do: to best address the users' 
needs. If possible in avoiding the confusion of the alternative 
competition Doug still suggests me to create.

I have no problem with that, but is it really what this group want? 
To replicate the Tunis agreement, leaving the ietf-languages take 
care of the languages legacy internet issues, while a new IGF center 
of expertise will care for the Multilingual Internet and the digital 
convergence?

ps. To better understand what I refer to:

My concern is simple: in most of the places the pressure is by the 
Goverment, in one it is by people we know.
