Hi,=0A=0Aluke-jr withdrew BIP 16 and put forwards support for BIP 17. So no=
w there's a consensus to move forwards.=0A=0AHowever he submitted BIP 18 to=
 me today. From looking it over, I'm not even sure the idea is tenable nor =
see the purpose when we are adopting BIP 17. Personally I'd rather not see =
a high turnover in protocol design when something works (now that we have v=
iable multisig transactions) even compromising on the position of a perfect=
 design.=0A=0Ahttps://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0018=0A=0AUsually for a BIP, s=
omeone submits it to me, I review to see whether the idea is technically so=
und (not making judgements on the validity), the community discusses the id=
ea and I evaluate the support at the end to change the status. In general I=
 try to accept all BIPs in the interests of fairness, rather than holding a=
 vote or being the executioner.=0A=0A"Once the champion has asked the Bitco=
in community as to whether an idea has any chance of acceptance, a draft BI=
P should be presented to=A0bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net. This =
gives the author a chance to flesh out the draft BIP to make properly forma=
tted, of high quality, and to address initial concerns about the proposal.=
=0AFollowing a discussion, the proposal should be sent to the Bitcoin-dev l=
ist with the draft BIP and the BIP editors <BIPs@Bitcoin.org>. This draft m=
ust be written in BIP style as described below, else it will be sent back w=
ithout further regard until proper formatting rules are followed."=0A=0AI d=
on't think BIP 18 has followed this discussion before being accepted. Neith=
er have many other BIPs as we're a small community, and so far we avoided t=
his unneeded level of bureaucracy. However I think this is a good thing to =
do here.=0A=0AShould BIP 18 be accepted into the repo or not?=0A=0A"The BIP=
 editor will not unreasonably deny a BIP. Reasons for denying BIP status in=
clude duplication of effort, being technically unsound, not providing prope=
r motivation or addressing backwards compatibility, or not in keeping with =
the Bitcoin philosophy."=0A=0A"For a BIP to be accepted it must meet certai=
n minimum criteria. It must be a clear and complete description of the prop=
osed enhancement. The enhancement must represent a net improvement. The pro=
posed implementation, if applicable, must be solid and must not complicate =
the protocol unduly."=0A=0A(quotes from BIP 1)
