Just three questions : 1/does the IETF support or contest the "Inclusive Name Space" (the one operated by NewRoot instead of the ICANN)?
See RFC 2826; the IAB thinks that one root is enough.
You have adressed three lists.2/is this list reserved for all IETF-supporting people only, or is it also open to IETF opponents/challengers?
ietf@ietf.org exists as an open forum to further the work of the IETF.
Its charter can be found on http://www.ietf.org/maillist.html
iesg@ietf.org exists to communicate with the Internet Engineering Steering
Group (IESG).
namedroppers@ops.ietf.org exists as an open forum to further the work
of the DNSEXT IETF working group, described in
http://www2.ietf.org/html.charters/dnsext-charter.html
None of the lists restrict who can post to it (apart from spam control).
On both of the open lists, repeated posting of material irrelevant to the purpose of the list can lead to your posting privilleges being restricted.
This has nothing to do with what you think, or say, and everything to do with the forum in which you choose to say it.
Since the IETF list (ietf@ietf.org) is intended as a forum to disucss the policies of the IETF (among other things), reasoned opinions about the relationship between the IETF and ISOC is a valid subject for this list, no matter whether the person stating that opinion thinks that the relationship is a good thing or a bad thing.3/knowing that the Internet Society is the only official body amongst all the Internet-related structures (IETF, IAB, IESG, etc.), created to host all of them, is it decent and acceptable to dispute/oppose/mock it, here in this list?
However, it would be inappropriate to the purpose of the namedroppers list.
Mockery is not generally considered a reasoned form of opinion.
Did this answer your question?
