I am _VERY_ concerned about this view on the work in the IETF which is an
international effort. It is not more expensive for you going to Australia
than for Australians going to your meeting in the US.
I am _NOT_ happy with this, and have to bring this to the immediate
attention to the IESG.
The DeltaV effort is certainly an international effort (Budi Surjanto,
James J. Hunt, and Edgar.Schwarz are all active participants). I
personally try to attend all of the IETF meetings, but I'm not sure I
see the point of scheduling a particular working group session if none
of the members of the working group (as indicated by participation in
the mailing list) will be in attendance.
My experience has been that anyone who has read the proposed protocol
carefully (essential in the "design phase" of the protocol) has
contributed to the mailing list, and that there is very little you can
do in a meeting when only a couple of people are familiar with the
proposed protocol. (I've been to such sessions, and it is not an
experience I wish to repeat). In contrast, the Washington meeting had
a significant number of active DeltaV members in attendance, and those
Deltav meetings were very productive.
Just for interests sake, how many people on this mailing list that are
attending the Adelaide meeting would actively participate in a working
session on the versioning protocol there?
Cheers,
Geoff
