RE: FCP over IP item on the agenda

For the record:
- I have not seen any proposal to discuss FCP or FCP over IP at the
	ips meeting in Pittsburgh.
- Jon William Toigo's statement that "EMC" "proposed" "a debate or
	discussion of FCP over IP" is simply not true.  I believe that this
	confusion stems from Julian's original misuse of "FCP", which
	has now been repeated in a rather unfortunate fashion.
	Misstatements like this have the potential to cause serious
	problems.  Could everyone please be careful about this sort
	of thing?

I believe that this is about the following item on the drafty draft agenda:

	Fibre Channel over IP (? tentative ?)

Julian's request to remove it is noted.

Thanks,
