I’m assuming you're asking me to list the courts with jurisdiction rather than define what that means, but apologies if I've got that wrong. I personally don’t know that list and I don’t see any value in paying someone to list them out for us. If a court issues the IETF LLC a court order then our counsel will advise us if that court has jurisdiction and that’s sufficient for our needs.

It is unclear whether this mailing list is still viewed as one of the venues related to the standards process. However, there are other mailing lists, e.g. last-call@, which is a venue related to the standards process. There wasn't any restriction of access (by email) to the standards process for well over a decade. I don't remember seeing RFC 8716 invoked over the last two years. It is very unfortunate that the consultation is not within the scope specified in BCP 101. Furthermore, there isn't any evidence of a problem with respect to RFC 8716. >>> >>> Regards, >>> S.
