RE: "Last Look" at the RADIUS Design Guidelines document



The AD is unhappy with all discussions that are inefficient and
sometimes are taking personal tones. 

I am making again an appeal to all the participants in the discussion to
focus on the professional aspects of the debate and to abstain from
remarks that can be interpreted as personal. 

I am also reminding the proposal that I have made a week ago. Can you
get together (maybe the two of you - Alan and Avi) and create text to be
added to the current document about what this BCP covers, and what it
does not cover and may be in the scope of future work? Get WG consensus
on this text, have this BCP approved, and recharter the Working Group to
work on what is not covered by the BCP like adding complex types. 

Thanks and Regards,

Dan
