<br>
I was also arguing that government people could be as qualified as anyone to operate in a IETF millieau.<br>

I do not know how that became "IETF is the only model and all others should be ignored."</blockquote><div><br>Actually, I was not referring to you and my email was in reaction to Norbert's, which seemed to me to have a slightly more sanguine approach to the IETF. <br>
