- "For the Internet" - only the stuff that is directly involved in making the Internet work is included in the IETF's scope.
In other words, routing, DNS, and Internet operations/management. Adopting this as the IETF's mission would be a very radical change indeed!
I erred in describing that category. I should have used something else - it was not what the IESG thought it was saying in its proposed mission statement, so me recycling the term "for the Internet" in the bulleted list I made added confusion rather than clarifying. Sorry!
(I still think it's a valid point on the scale. It leaves us with a much smaller IETF. But some people tend to think that's a positive side.)
