Noel, Dan and I have both commented on why many business model aspects
are in scope here in terms of management, operability, and security.
I understand there is a claim generally held to be true that business
models are out of scope for the IETF. There are certainly aspects of
that claim that are very true.
However, deployment, management, operations and security are all very
much in scope for this working group. As such, a large number of
business relationship discussions are in scope, especially initially.
It's possibl things may get out of hand, but let us start by being
inclusive rather than trying to shut people down in the first couple
messages of a thread.
