Re: Deployment Cases

Christian in respinse to your answer below,

0)    Why does the IETF care whether its IP is used?

It operates a standard's process not a commercial eneity who's existence is 
based on licensing, so if the IETF has this concern that impacts its 
impartial status as an open and fair entity I think.

1)    what process is used to make that decision and what constitutes 
'sufficient' in this term?

2)    what Business Justification's would be needed for the IESG to do 
anything???

Can you explain to me specifically what "the IESG's Business Justification" 
requirements are for and what they constrain..

We went through that many times. The best way we have found so far is to 
verify that the proposed working group has a sufficient constituency.

This has the advantage of not requiring economic or business judgments from 
the IESG. After all, one should assume that the participants who are 
expressing interest did their homework, business plans and the like.
