Positions in WG debates
- Joining FETCH: would keep Joining FETCH pending operational experience rather than replace it with fill-fetch; flags error-delivery, duplicate-object, and nested-
FILL_PARAMETERSconcerns. See joining-fetch-dissent. - IETF-126 scope reduction: formally objected when the chairs called consensus to move range filters and SSTS out of core moq-transport, citing a roughly 50/50 room split. The Area Director affirmed the chairs’ right to call consensus — a contested but standing determination.
- Top-N DDoS: presented Top-N denial-of-service concerns at the London interim.
