Shahram,

I remember that earlier discussion very well and your objection to the
words "simple and efficient" included the argument that these words
added nothing to the draft.  I suggested that it could be removed on
the grounds that it added nothing but I did not agree that it the
protocol could not be described as "simple and efficient".  I am also
not an author of this draft.  Apparently the authors did not agree
since the words "simple and efficient" are still in the -02 draft.

Since the second sentence is not true it should either be omited from
the minutes or a note added that the statement though made was not
true.  The authors neither agreed that the protocol is not simple and
efficient nor did they remove the text.
