[governance] Towards an IGC Statement on RFC 6852 "Affirmation of the Modern Paradigm for Standards"

[Adam Peake]

Norbert, thanks for trying, but to be frank, why bother?

In the couple of days since RFC 6852 was mentioned we've seen almost
equal support/opposition for statement.  And if the caucus does
produce something will it make any difference? Very likely no.

But we do have a few days in which to submit a statement for the IGF
open consultation and to (hopefully) support CS MAG members in their
discussions. Could we please focus on core issues.

Thanks,

Adam
