Rob Austein wrote on May 10th, 2006:
"Absent strong support from disinterested WG participants for having
Peter's draft explore M. Moreau's putatively encumbered idea, I will
direct Peter to decline M. Moreau's suggestion, at least until
M. Moreau has filed his IPR statement and it is possible for a
disinterested person to reach an independent opinion on the extent,
relevance, and validity of M. Moreau's IPR claims."
If you mean this text from Austein's May 10th, message, then there is a
element of future tense about it. However, Jeff Schiller has outlined
the conditions for such direction: The inability of a working group to
make a decision. By contrast, Austein's condition is "absent strong
support". Austein's direction is inappropriate in both the future and
past, so the tense is irrelevant.
