Re: Running Code

[Henning Schulzrinne <hgs at cs.columbia.edu>]

I would hope that most spec writers also write code (or at least have  
written code in the past), but maybe not for every draft that they  
prepare. Also, if we'd want to rule out any protocol contributions by  
individuals with management responsibilities that make writing  
production code difficult, it would probably eliminate a fair number  
of active contributors in the IETF. I'm making no value judgement  
whether that would be a good thing or not...
