forestalling the iesg-secretary query.... I think this is best reviewed for conflicts in the Internet area. Second best might be Routing.
i don't have the stomach for reading this now, and i received an extra writing assignment this noon. but my memory, as a member of the nsrg, is that this was supposed to be a report of some meetings and discussions of an irtf research group. i.e., it is kind of like minutes, and not ours to say what they had a right to think or not.
note that this may be a case of my playing voltaire [0]: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

[0] - note that this is attributed to Voltaire, but is actually believed to be derived from his work and pseudo-quoted by tallentyre. how is that for a pedantry for the day?
