randy - at the risk of being labelled a contrarian, let me repeat to you what i
said to jeff at the plenary
we've worked together a long time. there's a huge amount of good will in
the audience towards you. however, at some point, the "we're volunteers"
excuse is going to fall flat.
yes, the ietf is a volunteer organization. that doesn't mean we have to behave
poorly by not enforcing our own rules... more on this in my reply to harald,
which is *really* going to ruffle some feathers.
