Dear Kent:

I wholeheartedly agree with John, and disagree with Rick Wesson:

When we first pulled PAB together after the fall of Babel, Antony espoused
the rule that, if ten or more members agreed with his posting, he would
call it a consensus.  If there was disagreement, he'd call for a ballot.

(Those were not his exact words, but the rule served us well.  I think Kent
should act under that precedent and send his thoughtfully crafted message
to NTIA --- ASAP).

Personal regards,
BobC
