Michael's decisions can be appealed to the IESG (which has never happened in the 22 years he has been serving as Language (Sub)tag Reviewer), and in principle he could be removed. At one point I was asked, not by the IESG, whether I would be willing to serve as LSR if Michael were to be removed. I declined, and replied in effect that he provided a much-needed intransigence (not to say bloody-mindedness) to a process that would otherwise be excessively lax. -- John Cowan http://vrici.lojban.org/~cowan [email protected] Evolutionary psychology is the theory that men are nothing but horn-dogs, and that women only want them for their money. --Susan McCarthy (adapted) _______________________________________________ Ietf-languages mailing list [email protected] http://www.alvestrand.no/mailman/listinfo/ietf-languages
