Why does the GA need to waste time discussing issues involved with a
commercial entity's business plan? It has absolutely no bearing on
anything in the GA charter.

Use the mailing list rules to prevent off-topic discussion.

Why? What is there to debate about MultiBind? It is a piece of
software that people either run or do not run? Where in the GA charter
does this come into play? Again, off-topic.

Why? This is a *technical* issue which the IETF is dealing with. This
is not a political issue and does not concern the GA. Off-topic.

Competition with the GA?

Off-topic discussions are prohibited by the GA list rules. Enforce the
rules.

You seem to have a conflict of interest in this issue. Just because you
want to talk about it does not make it any more germaine.
