[occi-wg] confusion about status of link / headers

[Andre Merzky]

For what its worth, OGF is modeled after IETF, and the IETF process
on reaching consensus should be applied.

From http://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.2.pdf :

  "The GGF intends to emulate, as appropriate, the Internet
  Engineering Task Force (IETF, www.ietf.org) and to support and
  complement the Internet Standards Process as outlined in [1]. is
  therefore advantageous that the GGF structure and process closely
  mirror those of the IETF. "

  [1] Bradner, S., “IETF Working Group Guidelines and Procedures,”
  RFC 2418, September 1998. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2418.txt


Hope that helps, 

  Andre.
