So the HR people would have you believe Tom but in truth there is very little new under the sun. I was in the international standards writing business for over 18 years and it was my so called 'contributions to the discipline' that got the IEEE to offer senior membership to this old school dropout, but I settled for simple full membership. Just came across my COMSOC lapel pin the other day.

Big argument between the IETF and ITU-T was the former wanted a dumb network with all the smarts in the terminal and the latter wanted all the smarts in the network. Now guess which group consisted mainly of terminal vendors and which mainly of network operators.
