  To answer Danny's question here.  Yes Danny we do.  Had you taken
the time and effort to properly review the g-roots list, you would know that
Simon Higgs has submitted such a draft.  He also submitted to the
IETF as well...  I believe the Kent Crispin also submitted such a draft
as well that is opposite of Simons...

  Please try to do a better job of proper review.  (See above comments
to Danny)...

  This is YOUR opinion and it may be shared by others.  However
it is the opinion of many others that this statement is incorrect and
therefore no appropriate to date...

  This may be true.  Than again it may not be so.  There are any number of
motives/reasons why questions of process are more important, as the
process drives the actions...

  I don't get this from anything that Danny has said.

  I am sure of this.  I am sure that there are to many.

  Fine WXW.  Danny I would be happy to take WXW's place for the
Roots task force slot...
