This is complete hogwash and it is completely dumbfounding that a person who
was either commissioned, asked or had volunteered to write the design
requirements has already come to a own incorrect, highly subjective
conclusion about the need SSP without ever completing the work!!

This is completely unacceptable.  If you don't understand SSP and can't do
the job of writing the draft document, then it is probably best to  hand it
off to someone who does understand and is willing to be completely open
minded with ALL parties in mind and then allow chips fall where they may.

My apology to the WG chairs, but this is utterly ridiculous position coming
from a person who is suppose to write the SSP design requirements.  It reeks
badly with obvious signs of conflict of interest by specific individuals to
kill SSP.
