You're right. The process of taking over an RFC in this case is not defined. Even if Andrea explicitly authorized anyone to derive anything from her work, I thought it was lack of respect for her work to take control and switch to another direction. That's why, while I'm not totally in sync with Anthony's proposal, I think he is acting the right way regarding Andrea's work. And yes, apparently, you could have 100 RFCs derived from the same one and published by different people. I also guessed it was forbidden, at least by common sense, but it is possible. I would happily support more rules for such cases. > As I believe Sara noted before, she will work with either of the RFCs > (yours or Anthony's) as it fits her own purposes, so it will boil down > to whichever RFCs gets published in the end. There's one up. I assume > yours will follow. That shall make two :). Not sure we compete. Main reason is that, while I sometimes believe in (fair) competition, I am pretty sure one on such a hot subject would be globally negative for the community. Anyway, we will publish work done so far but, maybe, just for information. Anyway, nothing is decided and I'm talking for myself only. Others may decide differently. I don't own anything.
