But that's not the issue.  Glenn's text doesn't say that it should be
structured so that they don't have to be, it says that the members must
not be.  Having RSOC members who care about the policy issues is a good
thing. If they aren't involved during the process, there is a real
risk that they
will feel the need to raise flags at the very end, when everyone else thinks
things are done.  That results in exhaustion and paralysis.

We muddle through  people taking hats on and off
everywhere in the IETF, and I think we know how.  I'd much rather
have that a "late surprise" by someone so committed to the issues
that they spent their time on the RSOC but who was muzzled from
speaking early on.

YMMV,

Ted
