no, they were fixed within the ietf. that's my blood you are taking about, and i know where and by whom it was spent. the fracking rirs, in the name of marla and and lee, actually went to the ietf last month with a proposal to push address policy back to the ietf from the ops. and they just did not get thomas's proposal to move more policy from ietf back to ops. randy
